Munir sb its Red Starburst Lily, we may add lilies in our next purchase but if you are specifically interested in this red then I can send one or two bulblets along with our next group purchase, because every year they produce 4 to 5 bulblets, I will divide them in October and this red is one of my new collection and the funny thing is that I didn't ordered or purchase this colour in any of my order but just found it in new blooms and liked it ;) .

Could they survive in the temperature of Karachi?
These are annuals or perennial?

Mustansir they are Perennials and they can survive in Karachi following is the post from Yahya who is growing them in Sindh
dear hamad: i am pleased to know that u are interested these heavenly flowers as i consider them the best for size colour texture longivity and good perfume. Easter lilies here in daharki as well as in karachi remain dormant from mid may to mid October in little bit wet soil in a shaded area. do not water them too much just keep the soil a little wet so as to keep the bulbs hydrated. in October i take them out and plant them in new container, the bigger the better, placing them two inches from the surface. in my pots i place two three inches of dung manure then mixed loam and at the top four inches mostly sandy soil with a little dung manure. in November here in daharki or by late october in karachi they sprout. i place the pot only in the morning sun till January, then i keep it in open sun. in February a nice flush of blooms come. for the whole month. sometimes in April a second flush also comes which i do not want as April is too hot here and it only weakens the bulbs.i always shift the pots in the morning sun area in march where they remain till may when the leave turn yellow . in the first week of June i pull out the dead stems and keep the pot in shaded area again.hope this will help you.
yahya.
