I looked out my window this morning and I have an Erlicheer daffodil BLOOMING in November!
It hasn't been THAT warm lately - but maybe it's still confused by last year's polar vortex following hot on the heels of the previous year's extremely WARM winter...

I cut it and brought it inside - it's supposed to get below 32 in the next week. Hope the bulb gets enough nutrition to come back.

That's crazy critter. Something is going on..... I had a glad blooming in the last days of September & normally all Glads bloom in June here. Shrug!

The weather is confusing to the plants as well as to us!

I read recently that Erlicheer requires very little chill time to bloom- apparently that is true! We started getting cool nights in August and shortly after that I started seeing fall foliage on Muscari and Ipheion, about a month earlier than usual.
