I have been approached by a new gardener who is engaged and planning a wedding next August 2009. She lives in the Northeast U.S. This new gardener wants to decorate with her favorite flower: Tulips. I don't see this happening, but I am hardly an expert. If money were no object (in which case couldn't she order them from a South American importer?), does anyone have the precise temperature/length for holding next Spring's bulbs (which she is buying as we speak) those several months longer than Nature intended? Ignorance is such bliss. But maybe I'm just not informed. Catherine T., Long Island, NY
