Supposedly the largest gardenia flower - Gardenia Aimee Yoshioka. About 4-5 inch across. Wish I had 20 of these!

Dr sb very very beautiful & healthy Gardenia.from where can i get it.i wish a plant of it.my garden is getting smaller really day by day Ha ha ha.

[aykhan]

Khan Saheb I got it from overseas but here you can never be sure of which cultivar since they are never clear. Best bet is to see imported gardenias and ask for the largest one. Usually hard to tell from flowers since sometimes individual flowers on the same tree have slight difference in certain cultivars. Otherwise I will give you a rooted cutting when I can take some and have acquired the ones I need for hedging.

After almost 2 years here's a bloom of TBI called Could Ballet. Lighter in color than I thought probably due to heat and placement in shade.

Dr. Sahib
Its beautiful.

Brig Sahib has started poetry after this new addiction.......lol

I have received four kinds of Siberian Iris seeds, yesterday sowed few and waiting for germination. Is there any special tip?

[aykhan]

Brig Saheb Iris is worth it. I plan in purchasing several from the USA probably in the Fall when they are available as bareroot. When the time comes I will ask all forum members for what they want and can bring TBI for everyone to their hearts content. Open offer for this lovely, gentle and blessed community.

great doctor sb indeed a beautiful iris. watching your iris i am also waiting for fall ;..lovely

[aykhan]

Kaleem saheb I'm nit too sure about how to make iris seeds germinate. Probably filter light, moisture by watering from below so there is no dampening off which rots seeds. Hakraza it'll be my pleasure. Bulbs, seeds are usually small so bringing them will not be a problem insha'Allah.

Interesting that if you look at the non-reblooming varieties there are dozens of much more exotic flowers and options. Reblooming ones are limited but probably better suited to the climate in most parts of Pakistan especially the lower and eastren two thirds of the country.
