I'd say it is normal for you this year, Corey. The fact that you have not just one but several (or more) doing the same thing points to an environmental cause(s) common to them all. This might be anything from poor bulb storage by the vendor, bad soil, late planting, dry soil, to soemthing else(?) If you let the flowers develop, you will disappointed by their size, off color and distortions. If it were me, I would remove the buds when you are able. They will be normal next year. Of course, it wouldn't be normal if first year plants attained mature height, either. Big Grin

I think we've all had "ridiculous" growth at times. The best thing is to learn from them.
