Nice to see Farhan back with beautiful pictures again! The forum had lost its "hustle and bustle" in his absence.

I didn't go anywhere just didn't have anything to post :-) I was waiting for the spring but it started to snow again!

@Kaleem Sb.......
Lupins are doing just okay....they were shifted to pots for journey along and also as they were suffering from caterpillar damage. No sign of buds. Placed in shade

I feel observing the progress of Lupins, is that they can be treated as annuals. Its only a matter of short growing season available to them. So now what i am planning to do is, i will be acquiring soon seeds of lupins tiny tots. Dwarf plant (12in) and sowing to bloom time of 16 weeks(claimed by the vendor).....an early sowing in Sept/Oct and i am hopeful they will flower in Spring.

Will share seeds with you if you are interested.

Farhan sb thank you so much for the detailed reply, actually once I had seen Lupins in Faisalabad with full blooms in the month of May. I asked the nursery man and he explained me that they have brought these from Haripur last week.
Thank you for the seeds offer, my bitter experience do not allow me to try them again but can see happily growing in the gardens of other members.
So waiting for more updates from your end.
