It is mid spring in Pakistan, and in Islamabad, spring annuals are making a fine show. In the brief period between winter and the beginning of the searing heat of summer, col climate annuals such as ranunculus, snapdragons, statice, pansies and cinerarias are grown in bedding displays at the Serena Hotel.
The garden of the Serena Hotel is surrounded on 3 sides by the 5-story hotel. The main restaurant opens out onto a stone flagged terrace set down from the garden and reached by a semi-circular curve of two steps. The lawn of the garden undulates, small water features with fountains gurgle and a number of young trees provide height. Jacarandas, a brachychiton, weeping bottle brush in full bloom feature, along with palms and flowering bougainvillea. In the foreground, standard roses are in full bloom- the spoiled blooms being collected daily.
