The local tourism has helped us to make this project successful, he says.
And most people and visitors came here not to see the flowers only, they came here to see the local community who have participated in this project, and to see women who have been successful in making this project in this dear country.
Visitors say they're pleased with the results of all this hard work.

It is very beautiful, I've seen new flowers, they made nice decorations and shapes from flowers, the flowers make me feel optimistic about life. The colors are nice, and I saw different flowers, more than I used to see.

Annual Chrysanthemum Show 2018 at Jilani Park
Annual Chrysanthemum Show 2018 was held in Jillani Park Lahore. Along with lot of Chrysanthemum flowers on display and competition, there was many gardening stalls as well from which people bought flowers, gardening accessories, seeds, fertilizers etc.
Chrysathemum flowers called Gul-e-Daudi in urdu are also called mums as common name. They are perennial in Lahore but treated as annual because they require some care in summer months and in monsoon. Over watering in monsoon kills these plants.

Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC. Over 500 cultivars had been recorded by 1630. The plant is renowned as one of the Four Gentlemen in Chinese and East Asian art. The plant is particularly significant during the Double Ninth Festival.
Chrysanthemum cultivation began in Japan during the Nara and Heian periods (early 8th to late 12th centuries), and gained popularity in the Edo period (early 17th to late 19th century). Many flower shapes, colours, and varieties were created. The way the flowers were grown and shaped also developed, and chrysanthemum culture flourished. The Imperial Seal of Japan is a chrysanthemum and the institution of the monarchy is also called the Chrysanthemum Throne. A number of festivals and shows take place throughout Japan in autumn when the flowers bloom. Chrysanthemum Day (菊の節句 Kiku no Sekku) is one of the five ancient sacred festivals. It is celebrated on the 9th day of the 9th month. It was started in 910, when the imperial court held its first chrysanthemum show.
Chrysanthemums entered American horticulture in 1798 when Colonel John Stevens imported a cultivated variety known as 'Dark Purple' from England. The introduction was part of an effort to grow attractions within Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey.
