On your visit to holland in july, do bring some alliums. I will tell you the species you get them to pakistan, i assure they will flower in lahore. And guess what do bring some Tulipa clusiana var. chrysantha, they should be perennial in lahore climate. I will be getting some lady tulips in fall hoping they will naturalize here

The one species sure to flower in lahore is Allium tuberosum aka chinese chives though flowers are not as pretty as other giant alliums. Chiltern seeds are selling their bulbs in a cheap price, though not an ideal time to plant them in lahore right now. Would surely try in fall.

A nurseryman told me that allium bulbs produce flowers here for the first season, they'll gradually get shorter n shorter in size.
