If you find yourself with an empty space or hole why not a visit to a local nursery and you can pick out a perennial that is blooming right then and plant it. So you know it will bloom about the same time next year.
Vanessa, you got that right!
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29
