Very nice plants as always.

Umar shb, would you be interested in sending individual pictures of your plants (flowers + leaves) for our garden plants database? I am more inclined to collect tropical plants, trees and vines (that's what I know more about). Fruit trees are no problem either. As long something that grows well in typical Pakistani gardens, we would like to have it listed. I have already used couple of your pictures of bottle brush and Magnolias for the database. While other members may be able to write short notes about annuals you have. The roses database is already full ~ 72 types are listed! The email is
