[Muhammad Arif Khan]

Butterflies of Lahore GONE with the Dangue. a collatral damage of fogging.

@Sir Arif...... Cost of life out weighed gardening pleasure

Delosperma, Perennial ground cover.


I think its a moth. This one had red wings but was shy to open them for a snap.....


I think Wallflower basket of Gold is a far better performer than dwarf ones. I have sheared it twice and it bounces back with same vigor.

Never crossed my mind! That must be the reason there are hardly any butterflies!!!!

[Farhan Ahmed]

Try between 11-12 in the morning

Deadheading! When I approach them they are not afraid, for they know I don’t mean harm or personal pleasure but endeavor to lengthen their lives. They willingly sacrifice


These are not from my garden, but I long they were……




All of my poppies are turning out to be standard red……thanks to “false colorful” seed packets!


Shrimp Plant has survived harsh frost without protection


Double Petunia....


Sweetpeas have recovered from bud drop scare!


Rununculus from seed, I am not disappointed….


Phlox Twinkles


Mimulus….I have found it to be a difficult plant. Water logging kills them, dry soil kills them….


Chamomile, Anti-depressant and anti insomanic


They are happy wherever you put them…sun, shade, pot or ground.

What a green thumb! mashallah.

I was wondering if there is a way to preserve the flowers (your boquet of de-headed flowers, which look so beautiful) to dryness and use them for decoration in a vase.

[Farhan Ahmed]

Masha Allah is the best prayer and compliment. Thank you
This is the point. I would not break a flower unless it benefits the plant; that is when it has faded.

Very nice. It's always a treat to watch your pics. BTW, I normally leave the dead flowers and leaves in the bed. Nothing goes out, let them recycle
