Stretch The Bloom Season

Do you love daffodils? Tulips? All the flowers of spring? Or do you love Chrysanthemums in the fall? Daylilies in summer? Which of these flowers makes your heart beat a little faster just looking at them?

You can stretch the bloom season when keeping in mind that varieties of a type of plant may bloom at different times, and sequence it through a much longer time of blooming than if you had only one type. Many flowering plants will have this feature.
There are often early, middle, and late blooming types of a plant.
