Beautiful and awesome, Raza..
How come you already have flowers of Zinnia? I have sowed seeds of zinnia, only last week.

[Hamad Ahmed Kisana]

thanks sir @jdashraf sir nothing extra ordinary just sowed them earlier 25-02-2013 and sowed them in situ as advised by senior forum members.for it i used bed of messembery which was ruined due to rain.
@hamad thank you for compliments i am growing summer annulas first time and hope they will work fine for me.

since when you are growing Clivia and from where did you get them?

Hamad

[Hamad Ahmed Kisana]

sir clivia are from pride seed and i planted them at 21 February this year and they flowered after 15 days now they are growing still with seed pods which i think mature in 6 months.when i purchased they were with green leaves of almost 6 inchs.

Raza these are fresh purchased Clivia so they flowered.Next year they may not flower.if they do not flower do not loose heart.after 3 or four years they will flower.never disturb the bulbs even don,t weed near them.if there are some weeds pull out with hands.My Clivias are flowering now every year.

[Hamad Ahmed Kisana]

oh no sir .. clivia cannot do this with me 3 or 4 years is much time khan sb but good thing is this i planted them in my backyard garden so they can say there .. khan sb did they multiply in this time or remained single plant.

[UMARKHANMARDAN]

Raza once i asked price of Clivia in a nursery & they told me Rs 2000.at that time i taught its too much.then i purchased some bulbs from More green Islamabad.then i came to know why its expensive.Time was the actual secret for the high price.Brother Clivia is very slow grower so they multiply very slowly.its better to purchase 6-12 bulbs at once instead of waiting for they will multiply.

How long from seed to flower?
