Both plants are not on my list, A week back I destroyed 80 potted plants of Cocks comb which my Mali had prepared in my long absence
Cineraria and Salvia both do well in shade.

Apart from Salvia and Cineraria mentioned by Brig Sahib, you can also grow Impatiens, Caldium, Geranium and Begonia in the shade.

How come while your Euphorbia & Vinca are full of flowers,there are no signs of flowers on them in Pindi ?
Perhaps I love them more than you :lol:
Quite right,sir. Hope you can spare some for your roses also,that are lagging behind.

The roses are like a beautiful cruel lady which has disappointed me thrice, Sir there is little love left for them.
Love begets love, What care I how great she be.
My ancestor Jassrat Khan married the daughter of Raja who was killed by him. He died of poisoning by the lady he loved.
