Title: Early birds

I've got Tulips and Hyacinths coming up already and was very suprised to see this Muscari Golden Fragrance so ahead of itself - it's supposed to bloom in April!  G x

Lovely!
There's an Anglo-Saxon proverb: Lord protect us from a mild January :o
Are you going to swaddle them if the forecast is for frost? ::)

Many of my later spring bulbs (mostly in pots) have been 'up' for some time. My snowdrops and hellebores (lenten not christmas rose types) are about a month ahead of last year, yet my daffodils are hardly showing.

I just hope that when it does go cold, it either doesnt last long or isnt too cold, other wise the poor things will suffer.
