Ahmad sb my Queens are doing well.Washingtonia is a nice & nice palm.i have two but Ahmad personly i like feather leaf palms.Ahmad i am not successful in growing Fox tail which i love so much.
Ahmad once i use to grow Giant Deco Dahlias at Abbottabad.but here they do not florish like in hilly areas,full of flowers.Mums are very short blooming.although its a fact both are very brilliant flowers.

Excellent Ahmad! I am also untested in group purchase. FYI I brought several tubers of dahlias from the USA when they started selling in summer from swan dahlia . They have almost all miserably failed. Even the ones that sprouted have died to not doing well. Only few lanky ones remain and I took some cuttings half of which have not taken either. All in all a waste of money.

The dahlia tubers I got from the USA were available there in June and I planted them in July I think and kept them in shade. They have not thrived. Most have rotted and some were very lanky. I recently have noticed some healthier growth of the few surviving ones since the cold started.
