I have a snow ball bush that's done the same. I am in zone 4 and it is blooming again on new shoots. This has never happened before.

they'll be ok. that happens occassionaly here in the south, and they go dormant and behave themselves once the weather straightens out.

That happens all the time.
In WV the forsythia would flower every time the temperature got over 50 degrees after the 1st frost. We would get a few warm days throughout the winter & would have lovely yellow flowers. The maples will also pop buds if the warm spell is very long.

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

So far the flowers are doing ok. I on the other hand am very confused. I keep on wanting to start the spring planting now.

Maybe Vernalization is a factor?

I agree TK! I am in denial that we're in for five months of freeze. I have big plans for things that didn't get in the ground yet -- how dare we run out of summer!

I am new to gardening and have prepared several flower beds. Your'e right....the weather is warm for this time of year. Do I keep watering my plants? Or do I let them just settle in for the winter. I have mulched with cedar bark and cut them all back, but I keep wanting to water them. I am also real confused, because I don't know what to do for the winter....

I water when it stays warm and there is no rain for a week or two. We have been warm but we get a good rain shower at least once a week. This is a good time to re-seed your lawn also.
I have planted a lot of things. It has been very pleasant to plant the bulbs without feezing my fingers off.

If you want the rainbow you have to put up with the rain!!
