Hi, I was wondering if you could help me, I used to live in Karachi and Islamabad when I was young (I now live in the UK) and I remember buying necklaces made of the sweetest smelling white flower. The smell is beautiful, and very fragrant. The flower is obviously quite common, and I also remember it growing in out garden.
I was wondering whether you knew what flower this is likely to be? I recognise it as Jasmine from your photos and descriptions but I'm not sure what type?
Thanks you in advance
The flower you are referring to is Jasmine sambac called motia in urdu, necklaces very common of it.
There is another jasmine called Jasminum officinale (chambeli) whose necklaces were common in gone days. And thanks for visiting/commenting on my blog.
These are all my fave flowers for fragrance. I am very attracted to the white ixora as I did'nt know there are scented ixoras. Now, I'm planting more scented flowers to my garden too.
Im so glad to finally see a blog which covers gardening tips directly relevant to our climate and city!!you have such a nice blog-ill definitely be following it!ive recently started gardening myself and get soo confused when i end up at nurseries here in lahore, so im going on a trial and error basis right now. your blog will surely help.
hi
im looking for a pernnial creeper for my 35ft high wall (abt 50 ft wide) preferrably with sweet smelling flowers and one which needs little support on the wall since its quite high.
il appreciate ur advice. also pls let me know if u know any decent gardner looking for a job in lahore.
thanks!
where can buy flowering wisteria. mine has not bloomed after 10 years.
and flowering hydrengea
Today i purchased Jhumka vine i want to know about this vine because i am new person on all these botanic things. please tell can i grow my jhumka vine in water tub which is made of plastic or it is necessary to grow into mud pot.what do u suggest.and today i visited lots of necessaries and they don't know the name except few and they have no catalog where i may suggest after seeing the pic of any flower creeper or tree.
Tashfeen, it is a very common vine in lahore. Fragrant flower year round. Keep pruning it. I would suggest a 14 inches clay pot minimum. Don't grow in water tub as this vine needs depth rather than width. Thanks for visiting my blog.
I just discovered this site. THANKS. I bought this piece of land in zone 4 of islamabad. The lay of the land is very interesting. Some plain,50 % flat, steep hillside , a saddle and a deep depression. The flora is diverse within this little 20 kanals because of the varying microclimates. I planted some flowering bushes and CHeer but due to my absence abroad and a careless absetee Mali not many survived. I do NOT want o grow an orchard but a self sustaining garden .
Wouls you like to suggest plants, vines, bushes, fruit trees and grasses that I might plant.
The only blooming WESTERIA , that I have seen in Pakistan is in Abbotabad. Do you think it will bloom in Islamabab?
thanks for a great site.
