One of my favourites... Antigonon leptopus. Trim and clean it. It regrows very easily and also keep its seeds :-)

Dear Farooq

Can you tell a bit more about this vine, how does it do in Karachi weather and what about water requirement, does it do well in moderate water conditions.

Antigonon thrives in Karachi very well. Don't let the soil go dry as the leaves wilt very quickly.

Please see our plant database for a detailed account:

Thanks for the feedback and the link, database description has good information about this vine but doesn't mention water needs. I am more inclined to like plants that require less water, so probably it won't fit into my collection.

Dear Mr Athar, I already posted names of two plants which I could identify with surety. The difficult ones were left for Izhar sb and he also commented on them.

There is another botanical forum called the UBC botanical gardens forum. They have professionals and hobbyists like us who like to identify plants. You may post the pictures there.

Regards,

Farooq
