Default Flowers for table decoration in June

The message
from Janet Galpin and Oliver Patterson
contains these words:

I have a son getting married at the beginning of June and have been
wondering whether I have time to grow anything suitable for a table
decorations.
He and his partner are very happy with something quite cottagey and
simple. Scented would be good: they had wondered about lavender - but
lack of time to grow it would be a problem.
If not scented, then I guess annuals are likely to be the only
possibilities. I haven't got much experience with annuals so any
suggestions would be really gratefully received.


Have a trawl through the plant catalogues. There must be quite a few
bulbs and corms which flower around then, and you may be lucky and get
them at a reduced price at this time of year, - - - meaning you can
plant more and be sure of having *SOMETHING* in flower, not that you can
do it on the cheap!
