  • Schisandra. Amur region

    Chinese magnolia vine or five-flavor berry (lat. Schisándra chinénsis) is a species of flowering plants of the genus Schisandra in the family Schisandraceae.


    It is a unique plant of the Far East, a woody deciduous creeping liana 10-15 m long and up to 1.5-2 cm in diameter, in northern areas — up to 2-4 m long, spirally winding supports clockwise.


    Europeans learned about Chinese magnolia vine in the early XIX century, about the same time Russian scientists became interested in it. In 1895, botanist and connoisseur of Far Eastern plants Vladimir Komarov published the stories of hunters that, going to the taiga for a long time, they do not take large stocks of food, and instead restore their strength with dried Schisandra berries. Thanks to this, they can chase sables for days without food and rest, keeping vigor of mind and sharpness of eye. Fishermen, leaving for a voyage, stocked up on the juice of the fruit of this liana, as it relieves seasickness.

  • Donetsk People's Republic: rose

    Rose (Latin: Rósa) is a collective name of many species and varieties of representatives of the genus Rosa, which grow in the wild and is cultivated by man.



    This flower has a special significance for Donbass. Roses have been traditionally planted on the streets of Donetsk since the 60s of the XX century. According to the idea of the first secretary of the regional committee of the Communist Party at the time, Vladimir Degtyaryov, it was necessary to plant one rose for each inhabitant. Thanks to this decision, people started to call Donetsk the city of a million roses. In fact, even more roses are planted there every year - up to two million roses. No wonder that in the 70s, UNESCO recognized Donetsk as the greenest of all industrial cities in the world.



    That's why the centerpiece of the DPR's floral composition is a topiary of three intertwined roses, which almost exactly replicates the wrought iron sculpture located in the central part of the city.

  • Heather. Pskov Region

    Heather (Calluna) is a genus of plants in the heather family. The only species is common heather (Calluna vulgaris). It is an evergreen, highly branched shrub about 30–50 cm tall with thin surface roots. Heather is easily recognized by its pinkish-purple flowers, which are gathered in one-sided racemose inflorescences at the ends of the shoots.


    Heather is widespread in the forest zone of Eurasia, in northwestern Africa, and in the eastern regions of North America; in Russia, it is found in the European part and in Western Siberia. In the second half of summer, in the pine forests and raised bogs of the Pskov region, one can encounter shrubs covered with delicate light pink flowers, resembling tiny bells in shape. This is the abundant bloom of heather, a wonderful honey plant and a hero of Scandinavian mythology.

  • Daurian rhododendron. Zabaykalsky region

    Daurian rhododendron (Latin: Rhododendron dauricum) is a shrub 0.5-2 meters tall with dense, branching shoots that stretch upwards. It got its name from Dauria or Daurian Land. The Russians named this part of the Zabaykalye (Transbaikal) territory after the Daurs, a Mongolic-speaking people who lived there.


    Daurian rhododendron has an unofficial but very popular folk name — bagulnik. The main wonder of this plant is its flowers. It is hard to imagine that such a hardy shrub, which grows literally on rocks, easily withstands forty-degree winters, and sprouts through the ashes of forest fires, can have such soft and delicate flowers.


    Daurian rhododendron is listed in the Red Book. For the people of Transbaikalia, it is more than just a plant. It is a symbol of the region, a symbol of resilience and vitality. Therefore, the pavilion of Zabaykalsky region is shaped like a bagulnik.
