Carnation in full bloom


Carnation unit really took a while to bloom what was  originally a month  schedule  got delayed to 6 months almost .. but the flush was  real good. Every one  in the market appreciated the flower quality and the aroma. one minor issue was that i delayed teh instalation of laying of 2nd and 3rd layer of mesh in time as a result of which   there was bending of stems in some colors  and i couldnt lay the meshes as  the buds were up by then and laying a new mesh over the buds were simply breaking them .. so i had to let go off this flush so that after pruning  i cud install the new  layers again .. for this season ..  i will have to somehow adjust with this flowers only .. nerverthless i was pretty much satisfied with the flower quality.

  1. Raj,

    Carnations are beautiful. From the time we visited in Mar/Apr to now, this part of the garden has come up so well. Trust your expansion plans are working well.

    1. Hi Kranthi,
      I came across your blog just today and ended up investing 2 hours into reading it from the 1st till the this one ( believe me, I have read even the photos....!!!)
      What an incredible journey you took...Congrats.

      I have been researching on floriculture for past 3 weeks. I had decided a month back to start my own floriculture unit near Nashik, Maharashtra. I am in the research phase, collecting know how and working on the business case too. I am a mechanical engineer and have worked in MNC's corporate life for past 10 years in and out of India as project manager. Floriculture startup is what I had decided and realized from your blog that, I finally found someone with similar attributes that educated personal can do high tech and scientific farming
      Would love to get in touch with you.
