Also, the daffodil bulbs I planted mid-October last year (next to my very boring fire bushes) started popping up when we had that peculiarly warm weather this February.
I'm in a hardiness zone around 5½ and here's what they look like now:
Finally, those chives I planted when I first made this thread (I haven't tended to them or planted more. They are ridiculous):

America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.
also strawberries are super hardy. We planted a store bought plant 6 years ago and outside of the transplant did 0 tending to it and it yielded some strawberries 5 years in a row...so if you would like to try something else I would say plant some strawberry bushes. They creep and at least for me were versatile despite abusive weather changes and zero maintenance. Fuck Hydies
So the apricot-hued and regular colored daffodils started budding and flowering, but every single time it rains, it beats the fucking shit out of them. Gardening sites say (and it has been the case) that as long as the stem is not snapped, meaning the stem could be doing a damn loop de loop -- and is still verdant and not split, that the flower will pop back up from its pounding.
I have no idea how the heck to protect them from hard rain showers, but they're doing so-so.

Do you know your USDA Zone?
