For the last three or four years the spring use to prolong due to the rains.these rains are good that they prolong the spring season at Peshawar/Mardan & Islamabad.but bad for roses because they cause black spot.but any how its good because black spot is a common problem round the World but we enjoy the long blooming season.my annuals are very limited but i hope you will enjoy it.

Farhan i am planting Double petunias for a long time.yes this time i planted after 3 years interval.the reason is my annuals selection is always limited.so what i do i use to change the variety within the specific species.last year i planted Petunia Ultra series this i have changed it to Falcon.then another thing i even changed the pansies.last year it was Mammoth this year it was Majestic giants II.some time i plant Antirhinum Madame butter fly,Little darling this year its sonnet.
When i planted petunia double in 2007 it was Fanfare series this year its madness.what i think Fanfare is more good if compared with Madness.Farhan some time i drop a series if its not available in separate colors.Godetia is so brighter brother.
Hamad this is not my mali he is my birds keeper & cook.he is from sialkot.i am really proud of him.hard working & loyal servants are blessings of Allah, isn't it.

Love the orange amaryllis.
Beautiful show of annuals, I love annuals but these need a lot of attention, care, hard-work and space in the garden but with short show duration. So my maximum interests are in Perennials.
