Why are my spring flowers blooming already?

I planted daffodils and tulips-both said to get in the ground before frost and they would bloom in spring, I planted them at the exact right time for my zone and they've spouted leaves already. Will they still bloom in spring?

Why are my spring flowers blooming already?
In central CA mine are leafing out already too...everyear at this time. They will still bloom at the right time, they're building up energy for the big production. After the blooms die, the leaves will continue to save up energy for the next year, so don't cut, wrap or do anything else to prevent them from getting all the sunshine they can get. This would be a good time to give them some bone and blood meal or bulb fertilizer to help them out a bit.
Reply:As long as you mulch them and cut them back once they die back again they will come back up in the spring.
Reply:they are over achievers
Reply:they should come up year after year
