Reply to comment by struggleingwithnames in Spring is slowly making its way into southern Germany [OC] [3888x5184] by tegucigalpa1337

This is a picture I took on my way home with groceries. It was January 13. In Eastern Poland. Normally I would be ecstatic to see it, because hate Winter. But this just sent chills down my spine. It's not right.

Isn't this a Japanese cherry blossom though? They can flower all the way through the winter, I've seen some in Warsaw a while back too. Climate change is scary obviously and it was unsettling to see temperatures over 15 degrees in January but this particular thing might not be as concerning as you think.

To be honest I live here many years now and it's the first time it happened. And I would definitely notice, because I love walking in my area.

What species is that? There are several plants that blossom in the midst of winter

I have absolutely no idea. In late Spring I'll take a photo and use some app to identify it.
