  • Creeping jenny. Moscow region

    Creeping jenny, moneywort or twopenny grass (Lysimachia nummularia) is an amazing sprawling perennial plant with round leaves resembling coins and golden-yellow flowers. Creeping jenny is one of approximately two hundred species of the Lysimachia genus.


    In Russia, the plant was known as "meadow tea" and was used as an herbal tea. Additionally, its leaves were once used to produce a dye for coloring fabrics yellow.



    The plant thrives in moist, shady places, typically growing in forests under the tree canopy, on floodplain meadows, and along the banks of lakes and ponds.

  • Wheat. Stavropol region

    The Stavropol region is the breadbasket of Russia. More than 40% of the region's area is fertile black soil. Many crops are grown here, the most important of which is wheat, the golden queen of the fields.



    Wheat, as the world's leading grain crop, is an integral part of the history of the region's development, and its golden ears decorate the coat of arms of the Stavropol region and symbolize prosperity. From year to year the region is among the country's leaders in terms of grain yields.



    Folk festivals and main events of the region are connected with wheat: the tradition to celebrate the Harvest Day appeared here as early as in the 20s of the last century. In 2024, the Stavropol region will host the All-Russian Field Day - the largest exposition of achievements of the national agro-industrial complex.

  • Siberian iris. Krasnoyarsk region

    "Kasatik"... each of us has undoubtedly heard such a tender address to a boy or a man, and, upon hearing it, certainly smiled, because this endearing word sounds remarkably charming! But few know where this address originated. Our ancestors, the Slavs, often used the names of animals, birds, and plants in other, indirect meanings. There are two versions. According to the first, our ancerstors called swallows "kasatiks." Another version states that until the XIX century in Russia, "kasatiks" referred to irises, the botanical name of which came to us much later and was legitimized by Carl Linnaeus. In Greek, "iris" means "rainbow."


    Siberian iris is an herbaceous plant with striking green sword-shaped leaves and blue flowers that bloom from late May and sometimes extend into early July. In the wild, it is found in Siberia, the Caucasus, regions of the European part of Russia, Europe, and also in Northern Asia. In culture, it is an indispensable plant for landscape design and landscaping of private and public spaces.

  • Marya's root. Komi republic

    Probably every resident of the Komi Republic knows and loves the song "Maryamol," dedicated to the beautiful and rare flower called Marya's root in Russian (Paeonia anomala or anomalous peony). In our country, there are 16 species of peonies, but in the republic, only the northernmost peony grows - Marya's root.


    Marya's root is a herbaceous perennial that can reach a height of one meter. This peony has straight stems and large purple-pink flowers. Flowering begins in May, reaches its peak in June, but you can still find the last flowers even in July. This peony was named Marya's root for its unusually large underground part of the bush with a sharp smell and a sweet taste.


    Marya's root plays a significant role in the traditional medicine of the region. Its healing properties have been known since ancient times. Infusions are used as a sedative for neurasthenia with increased excitability.

  • Yarrow. Tver region

    The Tver region is a land of dense forests, gentle rivers, quiet lakes, and lush meadows. Many meadow herbs are medicinal plants, such as common yarrow. Yarrow is still actively used in folk medicine today. It is taken internally as a remedy for regulating metabolism, dizziness, nausea, headaches, and sleep disorders.


    Yarrow is a large genus of the Asteraceae family, comprising about 150 species. The common yarrow, or woundwort (Latin: Achillea millefolium), is the type species of the yarrow genus. The genus name derives from Achilles, the mythical hero who used yarrow to heal wounds. The species epithet (mille - thousand, folium - leaf) refers to the plant's numerous leaf segments. The plant is widespread in Europe and Asia and has been introduced to other continents. In cultivation, yarrow is grown as an ornamental, medicinal, and aromatic plant.

  • Pontic rhododendron - an ancient ornament of the Adygea land

    In the Republic of Adygea one can admire the blossoming of high-mountain vegetation - there is an abundance of Caucasian rhododendrons, primroses, anemones and a couple of dozens of other plants, many of which are unique relics and endemics.

     Rhododendrons belong to the Heather family and are related to Ledum, cranberry, bilberry and lingonberry; they have medicinal properties. Modern medicine counts at least nine medicinal species among them.


    Pontic rhododendron (Latin: Rhododendron ponticum) is a dense creeping multi-stemmed shrub or small tree, reaching a height of 1.5-2.5 m, with evergreen leathery leaves of rich color. Flowers are 5 cm in diameter, purple, often with small greenish-yellow spots or veins, fragrant; collected in large ball-shaped inflorescences at the ends of shoots. Each of them contains from 8 to 20 flowers.
