@Asim...Thankyou
@ M Farooq Sb......You make me blush. :oops: :D ...My camera is Panasonic Lumix

@Tahir ..Yup you are right Here are senator and Statesman blooms together. But i wonder where did America go.......Secondly you said yours are making buds. That's really astonishing because sweetpeas are almost finishing everywhere. This means these from T & M are very heat hardy. How is their growth???

One Sweet Heart of a Plant.......I must have broken thousands of flowers this spring to keep early flowering plants going till the last annual has bloomed. But this tough helichrysum has not even one faded bloom even after more than one and half month. Helichrysum in my opinion can challenge any plant for flower life.

Echium.....One weed i would like to grow again....

I think this is going to be one charming Dahlia Flower. Picture might not be able to capture but it has orange, red, pink and yellow colors.

Farhan bhai the sweet peas from T&M started flowering very late, i got the first blooms in mid of march while the seeds that i had saved last year and planted are flowering since 10th feb..

I have a senator sort of bloom with less streaks, more like a cupani... i will upload pics tomorrow INSHALLAH.

P.S. Do save seeds of Mr 'Senator' :D

I would recommend these sweetpeas seeds for hot climate areas like karachi....they will perform better than heirloom there.

Farewell to Spring, Godetia has started to bloom!.....My journey is approaching end. Sends jitters.....Godetia Fruit Punch early blooms

Beauty of a plant/flower is as you perceive it. The apt angle.

Florist Cineraria Border is complete. All of these are from last year's saved seeds. Worth seed saving. Very easy to collect seeds from....
