Plants blooming early in UK?

My forsythasia is starting to flower (Northern Ireland) and the spring-flowering crocuses I planted last month are starting to come up. Has anyone else experienced similar goings on?

Plants blooming early in UK?
There are a lot of strange things going on in this area - I have sweetpeas still in bloom together with roses which are still budding and reaching full bloom and this is after icy morning and snow. Will not be surprised to see the next thing the garden can throw at me. Also have birds looking at the nesting boxes so seems the whole spectrum is turning upside down. Enjoy your forsythia it may bloom again next spring.

Most of the plants are keeping to their normal flowering patterns though.

Here in West Texas (USA) our cannas are pushing up out of the soil. They are over a foot tall. Daylilies' leaves are green and growing.
Reply:There are weird things around for sure.... I was stunned to find that a Geranium I have cut back FOUR times this year is flowering yet again! Bizarre. I do hope they don't all wear themselves out :-))
