Unseasonably warm weather and Crocus Question

I live in Michigan and we have had unseasonably warm weather this year.  So warm, that my crocuses (and a few other early blooming flowers) have started to pop up.  I expect that we will have snow again soon and the flowers will probably die.  I am wondering if there is any chance that these will bloom again in the spring, or if there is anything I can do at this point to save them?!  

Any suggestions???

  • Eh, it's happened to me before and they survived just fine.

  • If it stays this warm, they will bloom early.  THe nights more than likely are getting too cold for them to bloom, so they will probably just sprout and then bloom early spring. 

    Even if they do bloom, crocuses are very hearty and the snow will not kill them.

    It'll be okay.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • They'll bloom early and might be a little stunted but they should be fine. Love how hardy crocuses are.
