Blooms

[AhmadIrfan]

My favourite tried both from paniri and rhizomes the rhizomes have numbers while the paniri one has flower size and amazing colors.

Beauty.........
Is first one Tulip? Amazing if that is possible in Lahore climate.
And what a sight seeing delphinium and that too so early in the season. Man what have you been feeding them.

Ranunculus are my favorites.Ahmad the plants from seeds are my favorites.the Bloomingdale from seed has so much unique colors including the purple shades.the plants are also very compact,neat & clean is,t it.

Just love the delphiniums. I must try them next year. Did you get paniri or from seeds?

I had to ranunculus this year since I was hoping bulbs from last year would sprout but they all failed.

[AhmadIrfan]

Yes farhan the first one is tulip one of the most diffcult bulb I tried this year.
Umar sb I have about 50 plants from seeds and almost 20 colors I think they truly are unique this is the first time I have tried them from paniri.
Aykhan sir I have about 20 bulbs in the pots and about 20 in the ground only 4 from lasr year sprouted the rest just decayed even with no water for the first month.
Delpheniums are from paniri DAP and npk always do the trick for me.plus the medium. The delpheniums are in the ground some flowering beyond expectations and some just.flowering like the blue.one in the pic.

The Bloomingdale will develop tubers.when the plants turn brown,store the tubers for next season.the flower size will increase plus you will get more flowers per plant.
Farhan Diphinium seedlings are not prepared in plains.the nurserymen use to sow the seeds in Muree & bring seedlings to plains for sale.i think they prepare it early & the temp may be the logic.i have never tried Delphiniums but i think cold temp may be the logic behind.

@Umar Khan......I am growing delphiniums by seeds this season. Lets see. I sowed them last November. Small right now.

[UMARKHANMARDAN]

It will be good experiment.do keep in touch about Delphiniums.i have never tried them.once in past at Multan my mali planted Larkspur & i told him chacha phir kabi ye mat lagana.since that time i have not even tried Larkspur.

[AhmadIrfan]

Farhan from what I heard the delhnium grown from seeds on plains hardly flower like lupins but I wouldnt wanna disheart you it mite be a sale tactic by the nurserymen.
Umar sb it difficult to save tubers for rananculus in lahore 4 out of 16 sprouted from.last year not worth the effort.

[Farhan Ahmed]

@ Umar Bhai......Larkspur in Mardan/Risalpur .....hit hai, will share blooms soon...LOL

@Ahmedirfan....i don't think it has do anything with plains or mountains. It simple temperature and growing period graph. Generally speaking our hilly areas have lower temperatures in Sep/Oct which allows Delphiniums to be sown early. Similarly rise in temperature is as late as May, thereby allowing more than 7-8 months for them to grow and bloom which is not possible in our warmer areas. I am expecting that as we will hit considerable high temperatures in April in Risalpur, Delphiniums will not grow fully and bolt sooner. What i am looking at is 1 1/2 to 2 feet size.
