In the garden in front of block 11 in the Kyustendil district "Mladost" blooming lilac bushes.
The Institute of Agriculture in Kyustendil told BNT that they cannot give an exact explanation as to why the lilacs are blooming, even though it is already the middle of September. According to the director of the institute, Assoc. Dr. Iliyana Krishkova, the cause of the phenomenon lies in climatic anomalies.
Prolonged drought, high temperatures during the summer season and subsequent rainfall in mid-September stress the plants and secondary flowering occurs.
With apples, for example, this can happen when there is a frost in the spring, she explained.
