Early but we had very cold and snow last month and a relatively mild December so they probably think it’s spring. If it turns cold again they’ll slow down and it won’t do them any harm sprouting early.

Normal – I’ve had muscari and alliums popping since end of October
I freaked out a bit last year, but they did fine! I understand they are pretty good at surviving frost ☺️

Some of mine are the same, I used to grow many species & varieties & they do vary a lot, some flower in Autumn, others would be out by Christmas.
They are very tough so doesn’t matter if they are early due to a warm spell.

I was waiting for someone to ask! I actually went to a gardening forum because my snowdrops, daffodils, alliums, crocuses **and** tulips are coming up! But I was told not to worry, so I won’t.
Tulips though? Seriously?

Some species flower early. There are autumn flowering species & others that flower through the winter, though February is probably peak snowdrop time.
These are in my garden right now, have survived mild frosts (not sure what will happen if there’s a hard frost or snow though!)

I live in the North East of England and this is normal for me. I have thousands of snowdrops and they start pushing up from mid November. They still flower in January and February, as normal.

Pretty normal. A lot of bulbs stick their heads above ground at this time of year. Ready for the main event in a couple of months.

Snow drops are about to flower near me. I’ve had primroses out for weeks now (the leaves never died off)

I’ve had some ornament peas in a pot from 2 years ago which haven’t died off at all since I planted them from seeds. They come out in summer, die off a bit afterwards but regrow slowly come winter. Didn’t think they were meant to do that.

My rose bushes still have flowers and buds on them
