What Karen didn't mention is that she has a page on her website where she has actually taken the info in the paper, put it in a chart with bloom times (plants on Y axis, months on x axis), and included photos of the flowers.  It is awesome.  I was actually going to take the info in the paper, dump it to a timeline in a spreadsheet and add pics, but she already did all the work.  Probably not very useful outside of New England, but, as I live in the Upper Connecticut River valley, it is really handy for me.

Thanks, Karen!
