Answer 1

What help do you need?  

You already have a source, so I'm going to assume you need help understanding it.  Okay.

Taken just on its own, it's referring to early spring flowers ... presuming we're talking about the northern hemisphere, a flower that blooms in, say, March, might have bloomed too soon.  Frosts still happen at night in March, in some parts, you see, and the frost will kill most flowers.  

Taken in that context, it's warning of the dangers of jumping in to the relationship before you know enough about the other person.  For example, in this case, http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_294... , the bride married the groom before knowing he was a wanted man by the police.
