Lovely blooms of Vigna caracalla. I think you have not forgotten to prepare some rooted cuttings for me

[Izhar]

Mir sb I took 10 cuttings some time back but neither rooted... may be it is not the season... I'll try again in spring...

I hope petunias will cover it up in a month or so:



Dahlia.. the open center is a plus point for the bees and butterflies in my garden:

Paperwhite Narcissus:

I am jealous of your vigna caracalla and variegated gardenia.One thing I have noted abt snail vine is that it prefers part shade rather than full sun.Places which receive morning sun only are ideal for this ant attracting vine.

I am back..!!

Adnan would you believe that these very first blooms produced two 4" long pods, I didn't took the pix (kay kahin nazar na lag jaye.. lol) but squirrels munched on them end of story..!!

Here are some recent pictures from my garden:

Dahlia "Showpiece Mix" ...seeds bought from T&M (UK) in 2010, the plants didn't bloomed the first year but formed tubers, which I saved in the soil, now look at this... I am so pleased with the result, its a keeper and I am looking for a complete bed of these next season:



A mutant Cosmos sulphureus, the flowers buds are forming from a spent bloom, they are semi double, height is now 5' and its a big bush now:



Giant Decorative type Dahlia from cuttings:



The Salvia "St. John's Fire" earliest to bloom and inshaAllah will be the longest too, bees love them:



Stock "Harmony Series" starting to bloom, but I haven't noticed any fragrance at all, there are some single ones in the bed too:

You have a green thumb and love for plants, may Allah bless you.
