Dr.sb, its always a pleasure to see your exotic plants and blooms. Great looking Sophora and Roses. Very nice display of Hyacinths.
I agree with Hammad that you have a very good asthectic sense. Fragrance, beauty and cleanliness all together.

Tahir Saphora is very hardy plant.It does not need any protection against frost.At the same time very drought resistant plant.You can get well established flowering potted bush from Peshawar mod, specially the nurseries in front of the TV station.

Tahir Saheb Umar Khan Saheb is right. I have really neglected the Sophora. It is evergreen in Lahore. If it seeds I will definitely save for you but please note this is an extremely slow growing plant and from seeds might not flower for many years. Here's the bloom today with the grape fragrance. I love it!

Dr sb your Saphora is so beautiful. What i like about this flower is its true blue color that is very unique among flowers plus the fragrace.The Double delight is so perfect.
Tahir i don,t remember the name but the nursery is opposite to PTV 2 TV station. What i mean its not on the front line of the market. When i say well establish plant i mean purchase a flowering plant. The reason is simple as Dr sb said this is very slow growing plant.Visit the nursery after 15 days because it will be in flower after two weeks.Islamabad climate is slightly colder than Lahore so Saphora will flower for us later.

I hear you tahir Saheb :D However often patience is key. I have some bulbs which won't flower for another 8-10 years! When they do flower I will experience the entire 10 years wait in the few days it remains in bloom.
