Kachnar,Candytuft,gladiolus flowers

Here are some of the flowers blooming in my garden and some of the shots are taken from lawrence gardens lahore.
This one is a small tree, having white flowers in the spring. Not sure about the ID yet. Photo taken in lawrence gardens lahore.




Candytuft with botanic name Iberis blooming in lawrence garden. Planted in masses, stunning flowers.


Bauhinia purpurea with local name kachnar. A street tree in lahore, pakistan. Blooms not only in spring but also in fall sometimes. There are many other bauhinia species growing in lahore including some vines. Perhaps a post specific to Bauhinia is due on me.


The enchanting fragrance and exquisite blooms of freesia. Although these are modern freesia hybird, fragrance is still intense. Watch for my next post of growing freesia in hot climates. Blooming. happily on my terrace in clay pots. They naturalize here in lahore


Chrysanthemum tricolor with synonym Ismelia carinata and common name painted daisy. Local name desi gendi. Comes in many shades of tricolor.


Another beautiful tree from lawrence garden. Will update the ID soon.


This is some variant of jasmine. Not fragrant though. The masses of flowers put a brilliant show in many months of the year.


Gladiolus, grown from bulbs in fall. It has potential to be a perennial in warm climate as ours. Comes in many shades. Top bouquet flower.


This is some jasmine shrub blooming happily in model town park lahore. Not fragrant though.

The freesia is my favorite! My freesia were literally nipped in the bud by a hard freeze in February, but I hope they'll return next year. Happy GBBD!

The two non-ID flowering trees look very much like some sort of pear (Pyrus communis) and apple (Malus domestica).

Beautiful pictures, as always!
