  • Edelweiss. Republic of Dagestan

    Edelweiss, or Leontopodium, is an annual or perennial herbaceous plant, 12-25 cm high, of the aster family, widespread in the high mountainous regions of Europe and Asia. The scientific Latin name Leontopodium can be translated from Greek as "lion's paw", which is what the appearance of the inflorescence resembles. But the Russian word "edelweiss" is a transliteration from German and means "noble white".


    In his monograph "Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants of Dagestan" Candidate of Biological Sciences, Professor Shamil Huseynov described in detail this amazing flower, which is a symbol of courage and bravery, as well as pure selfless love among highland peoples. Shamil Abdulkasumovich was awarded the title "Merited Worker of Higher School of the Republic of Dagestan" for his contribution to the study of plants of the region.

  • Alpine Bearberry. Kamchatka Region

    From late spring to mid-autumn, the plant life of Kamchatka astounds with its multitude of colors and diversity. The geographical location of the peninsula, its humid oceanic climate, and active volcanism influence its formation. The bright, delicate, and resilient flowers of Kamchatka withstand cold sea fogs, extreme temperatures, and strong winds. One of the symbols proving the vitality of Kamchatka’s nature is the Alpine bearberry.


    The scientific Latin name Arctous alpina (L.) Niedenzu comes from the Greek Arctous, meaning "northern". This low-growing deciduous shrub, standing 10–50 centimeters tall, is found in the vast tundra and on the rocky slopes at the foot of volcanoes. The resilience of this little brave northerner is highlighted by Kamchatka botanist and researcher at the Kronotsky State Nature Reserve, Maria Otkidach.

  • 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.

  • Sea holly. Kaliningrad region

    In the Kaliningrad region, there are 19 plants whose specific epithets include the words "maritime" or "seaside," including one in cultivation. Nine of them are found on the Curonian Spit. They are not botanically related and often belong to different genera and families. Their external characteristics also vary. However, all these species share a common trait: their proximity to the sea.


    Among them, the sea holly (Eryngium maritimum) is the most recognizable and popular species on the Baltic coast. It was chosen by scientists of the last century as the symbol of the Prussian Botanical Society.


    Sea holly is a real treasure trove of beneficial and healing substances that have a positive effect on the body. Healers have long used the root, inflorescence, stem, and leaves to prepare various infusions that significantly improve the well-being of people with kidney problems.

  • Floribunda rose. Yaroslavl region

    The Floribunda rose is one of the most popular groups of garden roses, known for its abundant blooming, wide variety of colors and fragrances, hardiness, and good frost resistance. "Floribunda" translates to "abundantly flowering."


    The buds bloom in summer and fill the area with bright colors until the first autumn frosts. These bush roses are characterized by lush blooming, usually with 3 to 9 buds on one stem. The colors range from delicate white to deep purple.


    Floribunda roses are extremely versatile; they can be used to create living hedges, borders, decorate alpine slides, and embellish the foregrounds of architectural objects.

  • Schrenck’s tulip. Zaporozhye region

    Schrenck's tulip is a bulbous plant that grows to a height of 15-40 cm. The bulb is oval, about 3 cm in diameter. The flower stalk is green, leafless. There are 3-4 oblong dark green leaves with fluted edges at its base.


    Schrenck's tulip is an endangered steppe flower, listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation in 1988. It is one of the oldest species and is considered the progenitor of many breeding varieties. The name is owed to the scientist and traveler Alexander Ivanovich Schrenck, who discovered this flower in 1873.
