Crazy!

Yeah some bulb plants like tulips and daffodils actually need to be planted while it is still cold to stimulate them when it warms up.

I wish mine would come up!!

They are a hardy plant once they break the ground.  The leaves left a good insulation for them.  We've had a few inches of snow with the daffodils and other flowers blooming on top of the snow.  What an amazing God we have to create such beauty!

The leaves probably insulated your tulips and gave them a head start. It's so great to start seeing some signs of spring. I can't wait. I love to be outside.

That's great to hear about your tulips. I didn't know tulips were so hardy a plant. Where I live it's still in the 30's even though spring has begun, but the grass is out and at another location we went to there was some sprouting there. I like the spring, but it's slow coming here since there really isn't much activity for the bushes or trees. I'm glad you guys are seeing results where you live. I think we'll need another 3 or 4 weeks before we really see the spring here.

I live in Indiana. Lately we have been fortunate to get some nice weather so I decided to clean up some leaves from the fall.  When I moved the leaves I was surprised to see that my tulips had already sprouted 4 inches above the ground!  Last weekend we had 9 inches of snow on the ground so I know these were there before the snow.  I am surprised they didn't die!

Tulips rather like the cold. They won't even sprout without a period of cold.

Tulips are very hardy plants and can withstand a lot of cold weather.  Although it's still pretty cold here, it is spring and soon I will see all my perennials begin to sprout out of the ground.
