  • Salvia. Lugansk People's Republic

    Salvia is one of the varieties of the herbaceous sage plant, which can be found ubiquitously in the meadows of the Lugansk People's Republic, while ornamental varieties are used in flowerbed compositions.


    Most commonly, meadow sage can be found in our steppes. It has medicinal properties and is used for therapeutic purposes: it helps with colds and inflammations and is used to treat skin and many other diseases. In the villages of the republic, people still say, "Plant sage in your garden, and you won't need a doctor."


    Another reason people love sage is that it is an excellent honey plant, producing large amounts of nectar. Beekeepers and gardeners highly value it. Sage flowers emit a very pleasant aroma, reminiscent of lavender, attracting numerous insects that pollinate garden and orchard crops.

  • Artysh (Siberian juniper). Republic of Tuva

    Artysh (Tuvan Siberian juniper or Juniperus sibirica) is a genus of evergreen coniferous plants in the Cupressaceae family of the order Pinales.


    In the local language, it is called artysh, shaman herb, arsa, archa, shug-pa. Despite its name, its habitat is extensive. In the north, it grows in the Arctic zone, in the temperate zone, and in regions with a warm climate— in mountains at altitudes up to 4200 meters above sea level.


    This is a very hardy plant capable of withstanding low and high temperatures. Moreover, its appearance changes little depending on the habitat and climatic zone. It is considered one of the most frost-resistant coniferous species. Among the shrubs of the undergrowth, juniper is the most long-lived. Plants aged 300–400 years are not uncommon.

  • Veronica. Moscow

    Veronica (or speedwell) is a floral symbol of Moscow. The name of the flower comes from the Latin words vera unica — "real medicine".


    Veronica is the largest genus of flowering plants of the plantain family, a forest-steppe species. All wild species of Veronica have a common feature — it is a blue shade of petals, the color of a clear sky on a summer day. Inflorescences are spike-shaped or panicle-shaped, consisting of many small buds. Blossoming is long, for a month and a half, falls at the height of summer. Breeders have long been interested in Veronica and have developed many decorative varieties with sky blue, navy blue, pink and white spike-shaped inflorescences.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Spring pheasant's eye (adonis). Kursk region

    Spring pheasant's eye, or adonis (Adōnis vernālis), is a perennial herbaceous plant. The large golden spheres of the pheasant's eye scattered across the carpet of young greenery adorn the untouched Streletskaya Steppe in the south of the Kursk region every spring. Some plants can bloom with up to 70 flowers, which only open in sunny weather.


    You can admire adonis only in the wild — this beautiful ornamental and medicinal plant does not lend itself to artificial cultivation. The development of the pheasant's eye seeds occurs very slowly, over the course of ten or more years. Even brief shading can cause adonis to perish. All medicinal preparations containing spring adonis are made from wild plants, which predominantly inhabit steppe and forest-steppe areas.
