Everything's delayed this year, but nothing like you are seeing (it's really beautiful that flower!). I had an extremely long bulb season as the cooler temperatures allowed the flowers to persist especially for the early daffodils. The recent hot weather put an end to that. :)

Last year was weird for me. It was really warm and everything bloomed at once and then I had this big gap until my summer blooms started.

I had the same experience last year. This year was definitely the longest bulb bloom I can recall. The flowering trees also persisted for quite a long time, and were full of flowers.

This spring has been weird but I'm already moving on and worrying about drought. My soil feels abnormally dry right now. It made digging and planting easier than usual as I didn't have to deal with the sticky clay, but .... The soil in my veg garden is completely crusted over. it's too early for that.

Yes, my arilbreds did what you said your TBI did. I also lost about half my iris buds (both TB and Aril) due to a cold snap after the flowers stalked. And due to crazy weather, I had no crocus blooms (they froze mostly before emerging) due to sudden drop to single digits. I am unsure if some of my more zone experimental plants made it (though crinums have both come back), but passionflower and lantana are still missing, but could come up since it JUST turned warm last week.

Everything grew fast and is now wilting in the breeze and 90F sun. Definitely an odd year and one I'm not really wishing to repeat.

The only good thing is bulb foliage really liked the extended cold spring. I hope that means a good show next year.

Most of my iris are stunted and I have stalks that grew yet none of the buds formed. Just dud stalks.
