i'm getting my yard ready for a wedding in sept '08. ------------------------------------------------ The trouble with a number of bulbs is that they have one or two flowers, and they can easily miss the due date. How about dahlias? They have an amazing number of flower sizes, shapes, colours, plant heights, so you should be able to match any wedding colour theme. They start early and then go on so long that there should be lots of flowers no matter what the weather is like next year.
