My daffodils are coming up - General Discussion

Tortue · 02-01-2007, 17:12

Anyone elses. Mine are about 4 - 5 inches above the ground because its been so warm

They were about this stage at the beginning of march last year

timey · 02-01-2007, 17:14

Ours don't come up until April normally.

MsAnonymous · 02-01-2007, 17:15

Yep, mine are the same.

Mild winters are confusing the flowers.

Muggsy · 02-01-2007, 17:16

Not only coming up, but in bud in Reading.

TV DUNIYA · 02-01-2007, 17:16

Lucky you,let's hope the frosts stay away.
My Willow trees,have skipped dormancy and already have buds on them.

LightningIguana · 02-01-2007, 17:20

We still have Nasturtiums (sp) flowering and they hate cold weather.

It's sooooo wrong!

titanflux · 02-01-2007, 17:22

I saw a pair of tits mateing the other day

diablo · 02-01-2007, 17:25

My daffs are about three inches tall already. Will have to prune the Boston Ivy before that starts growing again.

Italianbeauty · 02-01-2007, 17:43

Yes but saying all that about daisies ect the Roses or the Pierani's dont come any sooner or the leaves on the trees so i think the World is ok yet.

Mirage · 02-01-2007, 19:06

My mum and I were only talking about this the other evening. My garden still has Fuchsia's, Geraniums, Roses in flower and the spider plants are producing new babies. Nothing has had a rest this year and now the Daffodils etc are coming through.

Crazy weather.

One thing I have noticed though, is not so many slugs in my garden (thank goodness). I think they must have been stuffing their faces all year and now too fat to move. Last year so many came, I was beginning to think I was in the Slug's Good Food Guide.

Jac Naylor · 02-01-2007, 19:16

You're kidding aren't you? Some trees round here still have golden leaves on them!

gonnaenodaethat · 02-01-2007, 19:22

Up here in Edinburgh my Daffs are through about 5 inches and I still have a rose on the rosebush. Well whats left of it after the wind on new years eve.

lemoncurd · 02-01-2007, 19:32

We have some tulips coming through in our garden - looks like they'll be in full bloom before January's out. And there's a lot of cherry blossom around here atm.

starlight7480 · 02-01-2007, 19:48

My bulbs are all coming up too.

jojo01 · 02-01-2007, 19:50

My bluebells have decided to put in an early appearance and next door's roses are still looking quite good.

Hopefully that means that full winter has been bypassed and we're into Spring already

♣ Moya · 02-01-2007, 20:26

Bluebells, crocuses, snowdrops & daffs are all emerging in our garden.

timey · 02-01-2007, 20:37

I don't believe this. Daffs in Edinburgh in January? Aye right.

Even in this all-singing all-dancing global warming era, I didn't see daffies in Aberdeen last year till March (still a little earlier than usual, though).

Exactly. It's usually into April here before they come up.

Lenore · 02-01-2007, 21:42

Mine too! I am worried in case they die, they're the funny double trumpeted ones, my fave flower!

lemoncurd · 03-01-2007, 00:08

It's getting quite springy already - quite mild. Hopefully, this means we'll be getting a good summer!

kenshukai · 03-01-2007, 00:29

My daffodils not on their way up yet but my geraniums have survived in bloom all winter!

Alethia · 03-01-2007, 01:19

I saw some blossom on a cherry tree the other day.
