    2) lavender

    And before revealing the no.1 here are some honorary mentions........

    Daffodils

    Hyacinths

    Hydrangeas

    Ranunculas

     And no 1….....

    Noted. Thank you. Where do you live? Why is it impossible to get tulips.. Here we are spoiled! 

    See original post

     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.......

    It has changed a lot since then, though.......

    Hahaha! 

    Poor thing! You really LOOOOOOOve tulips! 

    See original post

     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.
