Spring plants begin to bloom several months earlier in Sochi this year

"Two varieties of Camellia japonica have bloomed because of the warm, frost-free winter.In addition, we have early flowering of Lonícera fragrantissima, Viburnum tinus. In cold years, these plants bloom closer to March,” Galina Soltani, leading researcher of the Sochi National Park, said.

In addition, mimosa already blooms at the resort, it usually blooms at the end of February. Snowdrops appeared in the forest, which are listed in the Red Book.

Operation "Primrose" starts in Sochi National Park, foresters will save rare plants that locals collect in bouquets for sale.
