In an overpopulated city called Jaipur that lies on the edge of a hot desert...........which experiences dust storms throughout the summer and dense fog in the winters........
You guys are indeed spoilt? you can grow all these amazing things like tulips and hyacinths and peonies, all so easily.......
Yes, I know....... Actually even Nainital is not that great......... My favorite is kullu valley....have you ever visited kullu and Manali? Lovely place.......they even have snowfall

Daffodils
Hyacinths
Hydrangeas
Ranunculas
And no 1….....

Vishu the Pink City. I spent a lovely week there about thirty years ago.
It's in India, Aym. My brother-in-law took us to lots of places when he stayed in Delhi.
Yes, the very same......... I hope you had a good time ?
It has changed a lot since then, though.......
I really do........
But for us, spring bulb means gladiolus, ranunculas, freesia, Eucharis and Asiatic lilies........ No Muscari or crocus or tulips or hyacinths. ?
On the brighter side.........canna blooms throughout the year and caladiums never go dormant☺
Vishu up in Nainital the spring flowers are the same as here in UK. A lot colder there than in Jaipur.
Yes, I know....... Actually even Nainital is not that great......... My favorite is kullu valley....have you ever visited kullu and Manali? Lovely place.......they even have snowfall
Amy yes we can certainly hope so
I've had lots of snow in Nainital and in Kashmir slept with three layers of clothing on.
Vishu, how about some of the species tulips? http://botanyboy.org/two-species-tulips-for-hot-climates/
