Is this a good thing? Is there a chance that a frost will kill them and then they won’t grow again later?

No, they're totally fine with being buried in snow 😆 .. even the blossoms. If it snowed today, whenever it melted these same blossoms would look pretty much the way they do now. Same with crocuses and daffofils.

awesome!! Thanks for the info

This winter is still pretty eerie. We’ve barely had a dusting of snow, it’s barely dropped below freezing at night and we have another 50 degree day today with more rain on the way this week. It’s creepy.

Eerie is a good word for it. There are masses of perennial daisies at India Point Park. All of their foliage has a couple inches of new growth on the tips.

Witchhazel is in bloom, a month early. Crocus shoots have been up an inch or more for a couple weeks.

From mid-November until mid-December the cherry trees at the entrance to Swan Point were in bloom. That's supposed to happen in mid-April 😳

I've never seen this.

Oh wow. I need to check my flower beds and see if mine have started popping up.

Have a look!

I always see them in this particular spot every year, blooming ahead of any others --but I've also seen the shoots up in all the other usual early spots.

I look for them every year. Just never seen them even close to this early

Sure enough I have some shoots coming up next to my stairs. Definitely a solid 3 weeks early. I’ll take it

Your comment prompted me to check on my neighbor's daffodils; his are the earliest around. Sure enough: up several inches. That's crazy early

Hmmm I have some flowers that come up in one of my back mulch beds and I already see little tendrils popping up out of the ground.
