    I have been reading about forcing tulips. I was hoping I might be able to force some tulips to flower in June for my wedding date but I get the impression from what I've read that forcing can only be done early, before the natural flowering season and not delay it which I was hoping to do. Anyone, here an expert on the subject, if so I'd like to pick your brains :)

    All plants (not just bulbs) can be forced, either to mature early or late. Earlier is easy/easier, late will require more facilities and effort. And if it's warm on your wedding day Tulips will look pants anyway.
    Sorry.

    ps; good luck on your big day!
