flowering bulbs

                                                              paper white narcissus
Paper white is another easy bulb to grow in warm climates very tolerant of poor soil and does not care whether planted in sun, semi shade and even full shade. And if that is not all, it does not mind drought as well and an easy bulb to store for the next season.A perfect bulb to try which is very fragrant with a pungent smell.
Dahlias are my damn favorite flower's i prefer to grow both single and double dahlias. 
Dahlias are my favorite flowers since my childhood.I remember when i was 10 i went to a nursery with my parents and i saw one beautiful purple color dahlia there that was the first time i saw dahlia flower and i called it purple sunflower and i asked my parents to buy it but sadly they didn't.
