I noticed when walking the dogs yesterday that the snowbanks are still shoulder high. No ground in sight. Enjoy your crocuses.

ssgramma, it must a bad year for Amaryllis. Mine is doing the same thing - maybe 6 inches tall. Usually it's very tall and blooming by now.

Moles don't like daffodils, so those are safe to plant and will give you wonderful color. :thumbup:

My crocus are in a protected area against my house and usually bloom at the end of February, but we've had a lot of snow this year, so they are not blossoming yet, but I can see a few green leaves starting. There's hope! :lol:

I don't have crocus, but my daffodils are starting to grow. We have had so much snow and cold this year, I bought a pot of paper daffodils, and put them in my front enterance in January. I tell people that is to remind me spring will come some day!

My crocus are blooming in south central PA also!! I noticed that the fruit trees in Adams county are very colorful - their buds are pushing also.

I had 3 amarillys bloom for me in the last couple months. Big red and pink blossoms in my bay window in the kitchen , sure looked nice and cheery. And yes I think my Snow on the mountain plants must be blooming ;-) .
