I also live in zone 5 but in Eastern WA. We have had a weird winter. If there were any bulbs or other plants starting to grow I wouldn't know as there has been frozen snow, anywhere from 6 " now in warmest places, to about 2 feet where the snow was shoveled off the roof. My one and only Rhododendron is about have covered with the frozen stuff. I don't expect to see any snow drops, hellebores, or iris for a couple of months, depending on the weather.

I posted a photo of a pot of forced Hyacinths, I couldn't stand not having some bulbs in bloom. At the same time I bought a pot of tulips. Sure have enjoyed them. Here is the photo of the tulips.
