Crimean lavender fields now in full bloom.
Check out the dazzling lavender fields of Crimea that are currently in bloom, enticing tourists from far and wide. Among them lies one of Europe and Russia's largest lavender fields, nestled in the heart of the Bakhchisaray district in the republic. According to Alexei Mischen, the director of agro-firm "Turgenyevskaya", this fantastic sight was brought to light by TASS[1].
Weather conditions play a significant role in determining the blooming period. If the weather worsens, the lavender might start to lose its vibrant hue a bit prematurely. However, experts predict that these beautiful purple blossoms will maintain their radiance until the end of July[2]. Mischen notes that this year's blooming has followed its usual schedule, with the lavender reaching approximately 85-90% of its full color[1]. The vibrant fields are already visible from a distance, and their breathtaking beauty will only intensify in the coming week[1].
Crimson forests of Crimea face a new threat, as a destructive pest making its way to the region has been identified. This pest is the notorious long-horned beetle[2]. While its presence has been confirmed on Mariupol's territory within the DNR, it remains to be seen if it will extend to Crimea's celebrated landscapes[2].
