Your bulbs should be fine, Maria; the warm spell is not expected to last. Apply another inch or two of mulch to the areas in which you planted the bulbs, covering any tips that may be showing. Leave the mulch until early spring. While it is not uncommon for bulbs to 鈥減op鈥 during an uncommonly warm fall spell, it’s also possible that you did not plant the bulbs quite deep enough. There is nothing you can do about it now, but if that is a concern, consider lifting (removing) them late next summer鈥攍ong after they’ve flowered and after the foliage has died鈥攁nd reset them a little deeper.
In the meantime, the blanket of mulch will halt their growth鈥攁nd protect them for potentially damaging thaws and freezes in winter. You should get plenty og flowers!
