(L) Oh yeah! Repeatedly they mention it in the ancient texts before the destruction of the Roman Empire that various scientists have determined was cometary/asteroidal. There are numerous mentions of plants blooming out of season; it seems to be part of the whole cataclysmic scenario where everything crazy is going on, and...
Very interesting. Last week, one of the local hunters here told us that for the last years/decades, the beeches (trees) here in Germany are having fruits ("Mast") every 5 years, whereas normally, this happens only every 10-15 years. This is one of the reasons for the overpopulation of the wild boars.
He also said that the scientists cannot really explain it - some say it's because of climate change and some say that
plants do this because they expect to die and try to put out as much of their seeds as possible! Very interesting...
Yeah, I picked up on this part as well. The trees here in Australia have been behaving out of character and season as well. We have one species of tree that has been flowering consistently for a few years now. It is said that when this species flowers, you can expect drought/dryer weather in three months time. So far, this observation has proved correct. This past summer, these trees have never carried so much blossom (as well as the others when they flowered), especially strange as it has been so dry here.
Also, during last winter, there was a species of shrub in flower in the middle of the cold season. Last winter here was mild, but it was still very much out of season for this plant to flower.
