kousa said:The mild Feb was actually wonderful for me as I am not a fan of cold. Though it really wreaked havoc on the poor plants that got fooled into thinking that winter was over. I must say my hellebores held up pretty well to the temps in the teens followed by being buried in 16" of snow. Not so with my early daffs and early tulips. The blooms flopped over and got damaged from freezing.

I hope your early daffs and tulips have enough good foliage to feed the bulb. One year, I believe it was 2000, the same thing happened to me. We had unusual warmth, and my bulbs started to grow, then were hit by an extended hard freeze. I lost some daffodils and my little iris reticulata. I hope yours fare better, and they probably will, because your low temperatures were probably not as drastic as mine.
