tulips, hyacinths but also lots of smaller more delicate flowers, some iris s (irises?)
they are all completely covered in snow and frozen. Some are in pots, some In the ground.

I'm worried

Nope. It's normal to get snow in spring.

Deanandthellhounds · 08/03/2023 22:44

Oh good, Google is giving me yes and no answers and 'depending on the variety..." I don't know the variety though

They should survive, spring bulbs are adapted to cold weather.

My tete-a-tete daffodils looked so pretty in the snow this morning.

Probably not, they are designed to cope with it.

Generally no they will be fine. I have found some blooms look like they are frost bitten if they were just beginning to bud. Still look pretty though!

No. They will be fine.
