The press service of the Ministry of Ecology and Nature Management of the Moscow region reported that a sharp warming in the next two weeks could cause a massive flowering of plants, including red books. Already this weekend in the Moscow region, the air temperature may warm up to 17 degrees Celsius.
Experts emphasize that it is strictly forbidden to pluck red book plants. It is also not recommended to collect common flowers, as this can harm the ecosystem. After a long rest, plants only gain strength before the flowering and reproduction period, and their pollen is food for the first awakened pollinating insects.
Among the first to bloom in April are the chessboard grouse, listed in the Red Book of Russia, noble liverwort, oakwood anemone, open lumbago, Marshall's crested, Gmelina borage, spring goricvet and hollow crested.
