Very nice. I for once agree that the double flower is looking better than the single [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

Change in opinion is a healthy signe

Can Bee Balm be grown in our climate is the question i sought sometime back. I think i can answer it now. Yes.
Monarda Bregamo/Bee balm, its not in full bloom as yet, brackets are extended and a in between flower is popping out. Stairway of 5. Good bushy habit, flowered in about 6 months. Trouble free, small seeds hence takes time to establish. Will share once in full bloom



Scabiosa Black Knight, indeed the bud is as black as it gets. Reds and pinks are also in the making beside standards blue.


Malva syslvestris


Malope fighting off heat well. But disappointed in a single color. It was supposed to be mixed.


Yarrow's first. As plants are 1 year old they are throwing multiple buds. Those seed grown this season are also making buds, however gr8ly under attack from caterpillars. Early summer is the baddest time for garden, high heat index, unsuitable plants, no rains when required, and load and loads of pests.


Another Holly celebrity, in shade & Sun.

. What a pleasure viewing lovely blooms,many for the first time (for me)!
. Farhan, do you collect seeds of all that you grow?Hope you share with the Seed Bank.

[Farhan Ahmed]

Sir, the resolution i am in the middle of making is to only go for F-1 species in the future and not to go for anything that i have tried before, atleast in terms of cultivar. This might enable me more joy with less effort as i forsee time will be scarce in future. For this reason many seeds i did not collect, however all those present at the moment, i will try to collect and share.

Unbelievable capturing of Black Hock Moth, i believe its very difficult. All refreshing shots and great blooms as always, reflecting the your hard work and love for plants and nature .
