Daffodils

Just bringing the dog for a walk and I notice hundreds of daffodils in full bloom. Is this unusual for the time of year?

Not when it's averaged about 8 degrees (24 hours) for the last month! Snowdrops and daffs together

I think it is out of season and far earlier than would be expected in most places, but as already posted above it has been unusually mild lately and it's not that surprising then that some things will go to flower earlier than normal. I have snow drops that are flowering a couple of weeks before they did last year and forsythia that is flowering now that did not flower until mid March last year. I usually would not see the daffodils here flowering until March or April.

There are daffs in full bloom and have been since before xmas here in Sligo,was the same last year,could be an early blooming breed of daff ?

There's a guy who sells daffodils in the milk market in Limerick. He grows them outside, does nothing special. On sale at this time of year the past few years.
Grown in Waterford though so perhaps it's a bit milder.
