Yes Khan sb my garden is non formal type of garden.i plant what i like.i plant it in the most suited are in the garden.if you like fruit trees try to plant the dwarf varieties which suits well to home garden culture.Plant Mango Sensation,a dwarf type well suited to home culture.mango adds a nice tropical touch to any garden.another dwarf tree is Pomegrante Tarnab e gulabi.bears large pink fruits with good flavor.its well suited to hot climates.the tree is dramatically dwarf.dwarf trees are easy to care & requires less space.yes your point is right annuals are not that so easy in a large garden.thats why i like the long blooming annuals & hardy bulbs like Amaryllis & Crinums.That was what i wanted to say in another post.Marigolds,Zinnias,Pansies & Petunias are really meant for big gardens.they require less care & rewards you so much.rare & exotics are not meant for big gardens.they are for those with limited space.i think you have understood my view point Khan sb.

Khabbab i love these Cannas.their flowers are double on dwarf plant.their max hight is 1 ft in my garden.one draw back is there they can not stand up to full sun.thier foliage burns in full direct sun.if you need i,l give some corms of the pink.

Umer Sahab, beautiful zinnias u got there !
last week I also got this variety of baby draft canna, but the nursery wala sold them at a higher price than the ordinary canna. (Rs.200) per plant.
For how much did u pay per plant ?
His red, yellow, light yellow and orange were on bloom. Have you seen pure white ones ? They have a simple yet beautiful look.
