I fail to see the connection.

Bulbs only flower for short periods ie lilies, freescias but tubers such as dahlias flower all through the summer into autumn. If you bury them deep enough and your soil isn't too heavy you can leave them in over winter.

agree with coccinelle dahlias will flower well into the autumn and i've had some left in the ground for about six years.
