Fall has been quite warm in eastern Nebraska. I just noticed some lilacs down the street that are in bloom. That’s usually something that happens in the April-May timeframe, not in the fall.
Is anyone else noticing unseasonal plant activity in their neighborhood?

A neighbor has some flowers blooming in the yard. The dark red ones might be peonies. Not sure what the orange ones could be. It isn’t typical to see such flowers in late October. #flower #OutOfSeason

@DeniseG@stranger.social The Nebraska lilacs are confused. The Minnesota ones too. Making blooms and new leaves in late October is the wrong response for the time of year. The honeyberry shrubs have also bloomed again. #minnesota, #zone4b, #ClimateDiary

@DeniseG@stranger.social There are irises blooming here in southeastern PA that normally bloom in the spring.
