Do you have any flowers coming up yet? My daffodils are just starting to poke through the ground!?
Not quite yet. utah. Theres a lot of snow still and today it is snowing...again.. and about 35 degrees. I expect my daffies and my tulips to start poking out in about two weeks or so. I just planted a LOAD of daffies and tulips and hiacynths (in the back) and I can't wait till they start comingup. Then the bearded iris will bloom, then all those asiatic and oriental lillies for the spring/summer and then the gladiolas will bloom and then the bearded iris again (reblooming variety) with the autum blooming crocus. Then it'll snow again , but by next winter, my 6 heleborus shrubs will be big enough to bloom through the winter. They like to get their flowers frozen, they just thaw out and bloom! I'll have flowers all year long if I play my cards right! I'll also have more flowering and ever green type plants in the front when I rip out those ugly thorny things that like sun but are in the shade. Whoever planted this yard before me was a bit nuts. Didn't do their research. Good luck with your daffies. Enjoy them well! I love daffies. do you have the "green" variety? Pistachio?
Reply:Lucky you!!! I live in Indiana, and today we were expecting 11 inches of snow. Thank goodness we didn't get near that much. This is the time of year when I live with my nose in all the plant catalogs and long for spring.
Reply:I have plenty of groups dotted around.......... one is just about to flower........... almost teasing!!!
Reply:northeastern us and my dafodills are half way up !


probaby because we were at worst in the 40s all winter and we saw 70s for a week straight
Reply:My snow drops, ( Gallanthus sp.) have been up for over a month now. This is coastal mid-atlantic, zone 7.
Reply:In SW Missouri, things have been poking up all month under the leaves and mulch. It is all I can do to refrain from uncovering them, and I know it is too early. The early crocuses are up and a couple of wildflowers in the woods look almost ready to burst. I have hellebores, both Christmas rose and Lenten rose, that are ready to bloom, and snowdrops are up but not in bloom yet. Daffodils have been up for weeks but when it gets cold, they stop growing until it is warm again. I saw my autumn crocuses were up an inch or so, already. Things seem to be a bit early because of the warm winter we are having. I can't wait for spring!
Reply:not here, still have ice and snow in the yard NE US 27 degrees this morning
Reply:Oh, I'm jealous of you!





I can't wait till mine pop up, but it won't be for another month. (San Francisco area)
