It's been warming here in south Georgia , too. The soil temperature is now at 69° & 70°. I hope to see all my nanas start popping soon. ... Soil temps were in the low 50s a month ago.

@ Tomahawk; ... Night time air temperature lows is not all there is to it. The 6" soil temp for Missouri is still in the low 50s (48 & 49 in some places) as reported by the Missouri Ag weather as of this week. ... The corms still feel the cold. Those not cold tolerant will remain dormant and others will be slow growing. ... My Orinoco, Dwf Orinoco, 1000 Finger, Raja Puri all started pushing pups when the soil temps were in the mid 50°s.
