  • Stankevich pine. Sevastopol

    Stankevich pine, also known as Sudak pine, grows on the slopes in the east of Crimea and the southwest, in the Balaklava area. It is a relict endemic species listed in the Red Data Book. The pine is named after the scientist Vaclav Stankevich.


    This tree, reaching up to 25 meters in height, has a sprawling, uneven crown with an unusually whimsical shape, resembling mythical creatures. The branches are horizontal, twisted, and resistant to strong winds. The pine is undemanding to soil, surviving even on rocky cliffs and tolerating salty sea water.


    This species of conifer is found only in Crimea. The largest grove of Stankevich pine on the peninsula is located in the "Novy Svet" nature reserve, with about 5,000 specimens.

  • Kurai or Ural rippensame. Republic of Bashkortostan

    Kurai is a fairly common plant in the coniferous and deciduous forests of the Urals, belonging to the umbellifer family, with a hollow stem. The kurai flower is considered a symbol of Bashkiria and can be seen on the flag and coat of arms.


    Why is the kurai flower a symbol of Bashkortostan?


    According to legends, the united Bashkir people emerged from seven main clans. The kurai flower is a symbol of friendship, and its seven petals represent the seven different ethnic groups that formed the Bashkir people as an ethnic group.


    The union of the clans consisted of the largest tribes: Burzyans (бөрйән), Usergans (үсергән), Tangauers (түңгәүер), Kypsaks (ҡыпсаҡ), Katays (ҡатай), Mins (мең), and Tabyns (табын). Although, in reality, there were many more (about 45).

  • 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.

  • Siberian dwarf pine. Magadan region

    The Siberian dwarf pine (Latin: Pinus pumila) inhabits the harshest areas of the Russian Far East. These low bushes spread across the taiga, forming dense, impenetrable thickets, earning them the nicknames "lying cedar" and "dwarf pine." In the Magadan region, it is ubiquitous and is the only coniferous tree in the area.


    Siberian dwarf pine is among the leaders in the pine family for its high content of phytoncides, providing antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, calming the body, and boosting the immune system. Infusions made from the needles are rich in vitamin C. While modern people use these infusions to support their bodies during colds, three hundred years ago, they literally saved sailors from scurvy. Vitus Bering and his team never went a day without tea or kvass made from dwarf pine during the Second Kamchatka Expedition.

  • 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.

  • Common yarrow. Saratov region

    Common yarrow, or thousand-leaf (Achillea millefolium) is a perennial herbaceous plant, a species of the genus Yarrow (Achillea) of the Aster family. It is used as a medicinal, spicy, ornamental and honey-bearing plant, as well as for the restoration of arable land and pastures.


    Yarrow is widely distributed in Europe and Asia. In Russia, it is found in almost all regions, including the Saratov region. With the onset of summer, plants with small snow-white flowers can be seen on roadsides, ravine slopes and glades. Although the plant can not be attributed to weeds, it is characterized by unpretentiousness.
