| I have a border of irises and tulips along a stepping stone path to my patio, and I wanted to know of any suggestions for some summer-blooming bulbs to interplant in the next month or so, to help hide the foliage of these other varieties as they die off. Any suggestions? Thank you. |

| Glads are easy and cheap. You can plant them every other week and have them bloom in stages. |

| How about dahlias? They're not bulbs (I think), but act like them, come in about a million varieties and colors and are easy like bulbs. |
