What's odd is I thought this growth could not happen without a good hard
cold dormancy period. My tulips, narcissi and everything else are not
coming
up.

Those bulbs are way smarter than the muscari. And the muscari are tough,
they'll be fine. The others will wait until true springtime to show their
noses....

Maybe not. I have tulips planted between my hostas. When I cleared away
the last of the dead hosta leaves two weeks ago, I noticed that the tulips
had begun to emerge. I have some alliums inter-planted with daylilies and
they are also sending up foliage. My Dutch iris are up about 18 inches.
