Bulbs? Are there really bulbs here under the snow? Blinking Crying

It is snowing again. Some years I Have daffs starting blooming at the end of February for the extra early varieties. My southside rose garden has had daffs blooming mid to late March.

This year it will be late as there is so much snow on the ground who knows how long it will take to melt off. And that is when it warms up. Still waiting for that warm up!

When it does warm up, Rita, you should have a grand show! I am hoping it thaws for you soon. smiles

This is the first time it's bloomed. It's a NOID one for me.

Some daffodils have a characteristic called variation which is when changes in color or configuration happen as cultivar ages.

Here are a few blooms from today. I did not plant this purple iris reticulata but I'm thrilled to see it. The plants are Narcissus Cum Laude, purple reticulated iris, Muscari, Ice King (some have reverted back to Ice Follies), Crocus vernus Twilight, and N. Tete-a-Tete.

In one spot in my front yard where the snow has receded I can see crocus foliage starting up thru the ground. This is the only spot for seeing any bulbs. The snow is covering everything else.

In spite of the rain overnight and the warmer weather today, there is still thick snow cover everywhere. It is melting though so there is hope!

I'm glad to hear the snow is melting. Your bulbs and plants will be well watered. I'm happy that we're in a warming trend here, finally. It appears we have no further freezing temps in the near future.
