What happened to the flowers in the picture?
Daisy flowers (perennial daisy in Hebrew), familiar to anyone with a little interest in flowers, are not particularly rare flowers, but these particular flowers, which grow in the Japanese city of Naoshibora, have a very specific characteristic: they grow in a mutational and unusual way.
The stems, as you can see, grew flowers that stuck together in a way that has never been seen before in the world.
What is the cause of these mutations? The obvious answer is a hormonal imbalance in the plant. But what is surprising is that this disorder stems from the nuclear disaster in Fukushima four years ago.
As you may recall, nuclear energy leaked from the large reactor in Fukushima, and tens of thousands of residents were evacuated. According to measurements, the nuclear radiation reached a distance of up to 96 km.
The city of Naoshibora, where the strange flowers were discovered, is located 112 km away.
4 years later, then, the traces of the disaster still affect plants, and who knows, maybe even humans.
