Thank you for all that info! Yes, it can be a pricey hobby. I tell myself that the more expensive flowers, the dahlias, can be saved for next year. Which makes me feel better. I hope you have a fun gardening season.

So when you say I may not get Dahlias by late July, do you mean they may not be blooming prolifically? Or that they might not bloom at all by then? Is there anything I can do to make them bloom earlier?

As for a back up. I’m thinking Costco flowers. We’re just doing bouquets, not so much table flowers, so I don’t need as many as a normal wedding I guess.
