  Janet, This is not "Google-for-me", it is "Hometalk". The purpose of Hometalk is for people to answer from their experience and knowledge and creativity, not simply google. Anyone can google. You insult the integrity and lower the standards of the Hometalk community.

After what? They have finished blooming? Yes, but it depends if you like a more "natural" look, or a more formal neat and tidy look. Here is a link for you!
