This year’s annual spring flower show was held at bara dari in lawrence garden aka jinnah bagh lahore. It was 152nd annual flower show and lasted for about a week. The special feature of the show was that it was collaborated with iran’s culture centre, they are also celebrating their spring these days. There was a special corner for iran’s flowers and their floriculture. I must say they had one of the beautiful flowers i have ever seen which i will share in next part. So here goes the flower show:
This was joint flag of pakistan and iran.
 |
Helichrysum also known as paper flowers planted in groups. Very pretty indeed.
 |
Geraniums, and these seemed to be geraniums not pelargoniums.
 |
These are the cranesbill geraniums.
 |
Another beautiful plant whose name i am forgetting right now but but very pretty in masses.
 |
There were many stalls and few were selling bonsai at very high cost. Although personally i do not like bonsai but people seemed to be interested in them.
 |
succellents were also displayed and people bought them with interest.
 |
There were many mass plantings of petunia but this one just caught my eye.
 |
This iris was about 3 feet high probably raised from bulb.
 |
Statice are becoming popular at cut flower shops as well due to their lasting capabilities.
 |
Many types of roses were displayed. This one is miniture rose.
 |
This is hybird tea rose.
 |
The floribunda rose.
 |
Another mass planting of these beautiful yellow flowers i was unable to identify at first glance.
 |
Many types of gladiolus were also displayed including imported ones and local ones. This one was gem of all.
 |
Although digitalis foxglove do not grow very well here in plains, the sellers do manage to get them bloom and sell at high prices. This one was one example. I discourage buying high altitude plants in plains, ahhm okay i admit aquilegia is an exception.

What do you think a spring annual show can be complete without mums? here they go. By the way here is exclusive coverage of chrysanthemum flower show few months back.
