Mashallah Farhna Bhai.. Superb..

[Hamad]

hmmmmm bulbous plant's blooms lovely Farhan, its nice to find you practising on this side of the gardening. May I ask from where did you get Ivy Geranium and are they from seed, seedling or plant.

Thankyou Hamad for your trailing petunia seeds, they seem to have reverted but still have a strong vining habit and aggressive growing nature.

may be its wild Farhan because it was given to me by someone and yes its not purely trailing but a little bit of training may help to make it look like trailing, post another photo when they will be on full bloom.

Subhan Allah Gorgeous blooms!

Masha Allah, its looking that every beautiful plant n flower is there in your garden. No doubt you put alot of efforts/hardwork in it.
Looking forward for to see the increasing colours and full kiaries with flowers.
BTW Blue little bird is also visiting my garden from last couple of days i noted. But i am still unable to capture this beauty because of its speed and alettness or absence of camera in hand. . I liked these shots very much.

[Tahir Khan]

Simply amazing, Arctotis wide array of colours, the yellow one with black centres and the Bunny tail grass they are so cool...save seeds for me

The charm of Linums what i believe is its delicate structure, thin stems large bloom with dark eye and when they dance with the winds....no words for that

Salvia 'Lady in red' starts to grow vigorously after March as the heat sets in.

Try pinching 'Felicia' to increase branching.

That bird is most probably a male Purple Sunbird "Cinnyris asiaticus"

Poppies look wonderful... Tahir is right Salvia will grow quickly as the temp rise... these reverted-to-wild petunias are definitely growing like wild in my area as well... they are very fragrant at night.. did you noticed??

Bunnytails are so cute looking plant....

[rafique]

Nicotania Tinker Bell's seed source please. Is it fragrant too like other cultivars?

[rafique]

I think plants of distinction is the source.

[Farhan Ahmed]

@Rafique Bhai. Yup Seeds of distinction. i will check the fragrance.
@Izhar. Bulls-eye. The bird indeed is sunbird.
@Tahir. Salvia is bolting, will it continue to grow?
@Hamad. These two plants were purchased from Islamabad H-9 area. Seeds are also available


Sunflower in search of single ray of sunlight since last 4 days.


Lovely colors coming up.



I love the idea of hybridizing. These are from saved seeds, hybridized by pollinators. My next project will be to grow and subsequently hybridize hibiscus.
