I live the idea of a mixed petunia bed. I likely will try that next year insha'Allah.

Tahir Bhai indeed linums are very charming to me even the ordinary scarlet one, its an amazing sight when they are planted in masses. Charmer Mix from sutton has lived upto the expectations.

Early blooms of Gypsophalia/Baby's breath. I am sure soon this plant will be smothered with white little blooms, hanging in air. As more plants bloom, mass effect should be astounding.

@Tahir Khan. Anemones from the bulbs you sent me. Blooms are comparatively small, but many, i hope this is not the only color.

Geranium Ivy, ready to bloom its heart out.
Image

I am so happy that i saved last year's corms, they have rewarded me big time. They were saved without any treatment or media in ordinary card box at a shaded location.

Image

First bloom of Silene Peach Blossom. Small dainty flower but the number of buds its throwing up will cover the ground for sure.
Image

Larkspur Hyacinth Flower first bloom
Image

white schizianthus, there downfall has begun after blooming for around a month. A very worthy plant with beautiful foliage

This lovely plant is blooming in a similar fashion since one and a half month. Does not care for absolutely anything, not even deadheading, Flower life is extensive, uniform height lovely front border plant for long season. This is from last year's seeds, meaning by its comes true.

@Umarkhanmardan.....Difference between F-2 and F-1
Malva F-1

Holly F-1. Hollies should be short lived perennials. This F-1 appears to be so. Its not in any hurry to flower/bolt, its just leisurely spreading and making a rosette. Leaves are large than 1 1/2 feet. A dramatic bonus in itself. Whereas F-2 (saved seed) plant thought started later is taller and already making buds. Less leafy.
