Sir,
Approximately 40 Amaryllis varieties, 18-20 Bearded Iris cultivars, 17 Known varieties of Lousiana Iris and another 23 mixed varieties of Louisiana Irises some of whom may bloom in Spring 2014 or in Spring of 2015, 3 colours in our local Irises found mainly in Kashmir & NWFP, 4 colours in Dutch Irises and finally 1 bamboo Iris (courtesy Kaleem Sahib).

That's a huge collection of varieties. What about Gerbera & other plants you specialise in?

Sir i also grow Gerbera and some other bulbs, plants which adaptable to our environment. Now my choice has become more restricted and selected based on survival of the fittest (our climatic conditions).


Double Dream




Exceptional blooms.


Is it Benito or Diva?

that red one presumably a Red Lion has put marvelous show.... how much time it has spent in this pot??

[mikhurram]

6-7 months. I am very pleased with the blooms displayed by Red Lion. I used to grow Amaryllis in ground but shifting them to pots last year around August/September. Over the years the bulbs placed in ground were sinking deeper & deeper in the ground. Some people are of the opinion that the bulbs placed in ground do not sink but my experience is that its true considering as the bulb grows its roots in search of nutrients push it deeper. Plus they multiply more rapidly if grown in pots.

Yes Khurram sb actually some years back i was facing the same problem with doubles.They were not multiplying then i asked the Amaryllis Master sir Arif.He told me to shift all bulbs into pots. This year i,l shift them to smaller pots.In pots they multiply readily.I am waiting for the Double Dream to bloom.Yours look so gorgeous just like a sweet lady in the garden or a sweet dreams come true.
