Daylilies growing good as ever, they are one of least demanding plants, Izhar;

Correct, especially the ever green ones. I have dormant, semi dormant and ever green ones, the ever greens are the most prolific, The dormant ones loose all leaves early in winter and re-sprout in Feb. some may die if not cared for, the semi dormant keep their leaves until the new growth.
I have been an Amaryllis man but now I am equally in love with Daylilies. Thanks to my forum friends in USA who got me started and are providing me the seeds.

I have ORCHID PHALAENOPSIS. I keep it just like a pet. It lives near a south facing window, is producing flowers in winter and has grown double in size in last 2 years.

Its a lovely plant to have. I believe ORCHIDS are easily available in KARACHI.

Getting them is no problem, creating a right environment IS.
