Don't worry.

Umm thanks. I guess I got what I asked for :)

You'll be VERY happy that you planted these! I believe that the PNW offers the best spring anywhere. My spring starts with Aconite's blooming in January, followed by snowdrops, crocus and a myriad of other bulbs and trees that bloom continuously until June. A 6 month spring is wonderful. Also, with our climate I have forgotten bulbs and planted them late -- they still flower. And these plants are designed to fool Mother Nature -- freezing weather on sprouting bulbs don't bother them. Happy gardening.

Hi there, my crocus and snowdrops are poking up too. I'm glad they are as it gives me more to look forward to for spring. Like the others said, they'll be fine even if we get some hard freezes as their noses are well prepared for it. My crocuses are just white cones above the soil right now, but the snowdrops definitely have leaves poking up, as do my fall blooming crocuses and surprise lilies (my first year growing those).

Keep us posted on how they develop and definitely don't worry. Easy bulb culture is one of the many gardening benefits our climates gives us.

Take care,
Grant

I haven't been over to see if my MIL's snowdrops are up yet. Some years my Muscari armeniacum bloom by late December or even earlier but they are not blooming now, though the leaves have been up quite a while. I bought 3 kinds of species tulips this year so I am excited to see them this spring.

I planted some supposedly fall-blooming crocus this year (from the bulb sale at the arboretum in Seattle, I've forgotten exactly which species), and they started blooming just before Christmas. I think the combination of this being their first year in my yard and the unholy weather we've been having confused them. They're awfully adorable out there, though.

Fall-blooming bulbs often have to go in during summer to be on schedule. Others do bloom late in fall anyway. It depends on which crocus you got and when you got it planted.

Thanks everyone, I'm just going to roll with it. I'm kind of excited now actually, I won't have to wait so long to see them!

Hey, they look good! It's really fun to see a picture of them. Keep us updated as they progress. Yours are more advanced than mine, but mine are definitely up and growing. I love having things to look forward to already.

Thanks for sharing them!
