  • 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.

  • Linden. Lipetsk region

    The linden tree is an undeniable symbol of Lipetsk. The city itself is named after this tree. Lindens are everywhere in the Lipetsk region: on the coat of arms of the city and the region, as a steel tree representing Lipetsk metallurgy, and as a symbol of healthy longevity, nature, growth, and progress.


    There is a legend that on the grounds of the ironworks in Lipetsk, near the office of Peter I, grew a centuries-old linden tree. According to the legend, the tsar ordered the tree to be preserved during the construction of the factories: "Under the shade of this linden, our work will progress easily and successfully!"


    Linden trees live very long—on average 300–400 years, with some specimens reaching up to 1200 years. Thus, the tree also became a symbol of longevity. Linden trees not only adorn avenues but also serve as a source of medicinal raw materials.

  • 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.

  • Red clover. Kirov region

    The Kirov region is classified as an area of risky agriculture. Therefore, the focus in agriculture is on livestock and fodder crops. Red clover is the most widespread fodder crop in the field grasslands of the Kirov region. Since fodder fields occupy the majority of the arable land in the region, clover flowers are probably the most abundant flowers in the Kirov region.


    Red clover (Latin: Trifolium pratense) is a plant from the genus clover (Trifolium), family Fabaceae (legumes), subfamily Faboideae (Papilionoideae).

    The Latin name of the plant translates to "three-leaved," as the three leaves are one of its distinguishing features. Four-leaved clovers, which are famous for being lucky charms, are much rarer.

    Clover is of great economic importance to the region due to its high yield and nutritional and fodder value. Clover is a source of biological nitrogen accumulation in the soil. Its roots host bacteria of the genus Rhizobium, which assimilate molecular nitrogen and transfer it to the clover in exchange for carbohydrates. Additionally, clover improves soil fertility, as its deep roots extract potassium, calcium, and phosphorus from deep soil layers and leave them in the upper arable layer.

  • Anomalous peony. Kurgan Region

    Anomalous peony, known also as Marya's root in Russian (Paeonia anomala L.) is a rare red-listed plant of the Kurgan region. The name of the flower comes from the Greek word paionios - healing, medicinal, in honor of the ancient Greek physician Peon, who was famous for his knowledge of healing herbs.


    Peonies are perennial herbaceous summer-green plants. They bloom in May-June and usually grow to a height of 60-100 cm. Peony flowers are large, fragrant, purplish-pink, 8-13 cm in diameter.

    Anomalous peony was bred back in the XVIII century as an ornamental plant to decorate gardens and complement floral compositions. Today the plant can be found wild in the region. Peonies grow under the canopy of the relict forest on the territory of the nature monument “Cherry Island Dacha”, whose unique flora regularly attracts biologists and local historians, as well as many tourists - nature lovers. Peonies can also be admired on the peninsulas of the salt water body of the resort “Lake Medvezhye” in the Kurgan region.
