Pakistan Gardening Forum

Hi all.
I've read somewhere that the climate of Bangalore is pretty similar to Islamabad, so searched online for some inspiration. Stumbled upon a lovely blog which featured a beautiful old garden. Unfortunately, there were no names, or descriptions of the featured plants. If any if you can please name these two blooming beauties in the pics below. I love how they are giving the garden a very structured look. Thanks.

Not at all... the climate of Bangalore is hot and rainy... the plants in the pics is Mussenda.. which is only grown in very high humidity and warm weather..

Thank you Izhar. I'll try and find it here. Can anyone guide me as to which zone does Isb/Rwp area fall into? Someone once told me it's zone 10?

Musanda is available with Lahore Nursery in pink and white, should also be available in Ialamabad.

Zone 10 with extra heat during summers and very low humidity in winters..

Thank you Arif and Izhar sahab.

The closest you can compare is karachi i guess since both have sub tropical climates being close to waters..

Karachi is very different.... it is not sub-tropical.. it is arid, humidity fluctuates to great extent and there is no rain.... I have been to places in world which have same temperatures theoretically as of Karachi but the actual feel was very different..

so you have verdict.. the real feel matters more therefore..
