You're welcome Teri. The weather has been crazy here, much colder at this time of year than normal, but the bulbs keep growing and blooming.

Yes dirtdorphins, the clematis have also started growing. It's amazing to me that these plants are growing despite the cold weather.

Thanks Jo Ann, spring WILL come.

We still have some nights in the 30's, the daytime temps are getting warmer, thank goodness, and the plants are waking up here. The bulbs that have sprouted were not phased by the 24-25 degree temps at night that we had last week.

Brrrrrr! That's just too cold, I hope that you don't get anymore snow from this new storm. I've been living in GA since 1996. I don't recall ever having a winter this long, cold and wet, it's starting to make me go a little batty. I previously didn't mind, thrilled for the plants that needed the chilling time to do well, but now, this is beyond ridiculous.

Every time I want to go out side to start fertilizing, I stop my self after looking at the forecast to see more cold temps coming. What's the point of fertilizing, and stimulating plant growth, only to have it damaged by the freezing temps. Angry

That is just lovely dirtdorphins. I've got some Galanthus planted, but I haven't seen any blooms so far this year.

I worked in the garden today, we got to 72 degrees, but here comes the cold weather again, with freeze warnings at night this week, just great!

I checked on my tulip Double Time mix from Colorblends, which is turning out to be tulip Triple Time and Quadruple Time😱😱. These are supposed to be single tulips red and yellow in color. I must have gotten some multi flowering tulips in the bulbs sent. I can't wait to see what's going to bloom.

Here's a weird bloom on Ice King 2/3 of the perianth and cup are yellow, and the rest of the bloom white.

It is good to see spring appearances, causally checked before last snow, but discovered no green yet.
Nothing that's been done can ever be changed.

jmorth, No green here yet either.Too much snow.The later part of the week will be barely above freezing but maybe there will be some melting.
The only green was the Galanthus images of a week ago.
I love that double dirtdorphins posted.

Lovely daffodils, Annette.

Second batch of Leucojums blooming. I like that the stems are long enough to use as cut flowers.

Chasmanthe - I wish my yellow patch would bloom as profusely as the more common orange ones

We've been having 'thunder sleet' and rain, at least my snow is gone for now --still along way out from daffodils--
but here are some more crocus, (sorry Jo Ann, I don't really know what kind they are)

Raining today, it just stopped for a few minutes so I walked around the garden and found a few more signs of spring.
