Hi Snoopy, There is a weird problem with your link. The first time I clicked it there were only ads and no person holding flowers. However, I tried it again and there she was. She is definitely holding Calla Lilies which do actually grow from rhizomes, but are commonly called bulbs. Not that it really matters, I just wanted to clear it up.
From an article on the history of the calla lily:
"Calla Lilies grow well in Clark County gardens and are a perennial growing from fleshy roots called rhizomes, which we call bulbs."

Also, according to this site, they sell calla lilies between Oct. and June.

Calla lilies (not true lilies) aren't unusual or exotic, they are a florist staple and they should be available year 'round from any decent United States florist. I don't know how florists do business in your country, but here florists really work to have them. The blooms keep really well, so even if your florist needs to import them from China or India, they should still be relatively inexpensive.
The ones I've grown myself bloom from late spring until mid summer, so February sounds possible but April sounds rather late if you are planning on growing them yourself. If you are planning on planting them to harvest for a wedding, keep in mind it takes several years for them to get to size and it will be hard to get them with stems as long as the picture you see without doing a bit of coddling. There are many modern dwarf varieties out there so you will need to be sure you've got the original tall ones. They will bloom first year, but not heavily, so if you will want lots of them, you will need to plant many plants.

Those are calla lillies; they grow from rhizomes. I have never grown them myself; I do know that they can be cultivated in very hot areas, and yet survive very cold temperatures to come up again in the fall. Check with a nursery near you to find out if they can be planted and maintained relatively easily in your area.

The flowers WHO is holding?
I'm pretty good at identifying... but your webpage reference has no picture of a female holding flowers!
