Thanks for taking the trouble to up-date us on your bulbs LeadFarmer. It sounds as if you will have a good, albeit later than normal, show of daffs etc.
For the record, my Tete a Tete that I planted in groups of five a few years ago at the front of the house (north facing), have been left undisturbed and have increased in numbers enormously, and have been flowering for a few weeks - they're just beginning to fade, but have been magnificent. Why they should have been so early I don't know - but they've been a source of enjoyment through the dark days!
Thought I'd post an update on how my late planted bulbs are doing. Heres a photo of some of the bulbs planted last autumn, together with some planted in January 2013. Some of the later planted bulbs are just in flower whilst some are further behind. Definately pleased I planted them now (click on photos to enlarge)...
