  • Wild rose. Arkhangelsk region

    Wild rose (Rosa) is a modest, unpretentious shrub of the Rosaceae family found almost everywhere, except for the Far North. It is valued for the beauty of a large bush, an abundance of greenery and a unique composition of fruits. Due to the richness of vitamins and minerals, rose hips as its fruits are called can rightfully be considered a real Russian superfood.



    Wild roses are the wild ancestor of cultivated roses. Wild roses are much more unpretentious and hardy than exquisite hybrid park roses.

    In Russia, there are more than 80 species of wild roses. The shrub grows, forming large clumps, often penetrating into populated areas, where it neighbors near fences with elderberry.

  • Great burnet. Omsk region

    Great burnet belongs to the Rosaceae family. In Russian, it is known as krovohlebka (blood sucker), rodovik, gryzhnik, krasnogolovka (red head), krovogolovka (blood head), krovostyag, ogoroshnik, styagnikrov, and adder’s potion. Its scientific name, Sanguisórba officinális, comes from the Latin words sanguis — blood, sorbeo — to absorb, and officinális — medicinal. Despite its ominous name, this plant has remarkable properties.


    There are eight species of Sanguisorba found in Russia, the most well-known being the great burnet (S. officinalis), a perennial reaching up to 100, sometimes 120 cm in height. In the Omsk region, the great burnet is widespread: found in forest glades, steppe meadows, and taiga zones.


    According to legend, the goddess Flora once discovered a leech on her leg while walking by a forest lake and became very angry. She threw the bloodsucker away, commanding it to become a plant. Thus, the leech turned into great burnet.

  • Ivan Chai. Novgorod region

    Ivan Chai (botanical name — Chamerion angustifolium, also known as Ivan-Tea, fireweed, rosebay willowherb) is a perennial and fast-growing herbaceous plant widespread in many regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Ivan Chai grows in the Novgorod region, where it is collected in the pristine and protected forests of the region.

     


    Ivan Chai has a dense rhizome and a straight stem that reaches up to two meters in height, narrow wedge-shaped leaves, and pinkish-purple inflorescences. In summer, it can be found not only in the forest but also in gardens, as it easily adapts to both shade and open sunlight.

    People have valued this plant since ancient times. The gathering of this medicinal herb takes place from mid-June to mid-July during the flowering period. In August-September, the inflorescences are covered with fluff, thin white hairs of seeds that emerge from the mature, pod-like fruits. All parts of the herb, from the flowers to the roots, are considered medicinal.

  • Tuberous begonia. Tula region

    Begonia is a very elegant plant, in which literally everything is beautiful: both flowers and leaves. The main feature of begonias is their lush flowers, which completely cover the plant. The plant is characterized by an incredible variety of flower forms - they can be similar in structure to peony, narcissus, carnation or camellia. 



    Begonia is a genus of plants in the Begoniaceae family. It is a low herbaceous perennial plant with a rhizome in the form of a bowl-shaped tuber.

    The first artificial hybrids were obtained in 1870, and subsequently at least seven species were used for crossbreeding. As a result of this painstaking work, more than 200 varieties of this perennial plant were born.

    This flower is classified into trailing, herbaceous, and shrub varieties. However, the most important distinguishing feature is the presence of a developed root, which is formed in the shape of a massive tuber, reaching up to 6-7 centimeters in diameter.

  • Rocky Mountain juniper "Fisht." Krasnodar region

    Rocky Mountain juniper originates from North America. It typically grows in mountainous areas among rocks, which is reflected in its species name. It belongs to the cypress family. Most varieties of Rocky Mountain juniper are well adapted to the harsh conditions of the Russian climate. These junipers are characterized by their beautiful bluish or steel-colored needles.


    Rocky Mountain junipers are incredibly long-lived, with a lifespan exceeding 1,000 years. They grow slowly. They prefer sunlight but can tolerate some shading, although they lose their decorative appeal in more shaded areas. The tree is often multi-trunked from the base, reaching a height of 10-18 meters in the wild, while cultivated varieties grow to 3-4 meters.

    The Rocky Mountain juniper (Juniperus scopulorum) "Fisht," presented at the RUSSIA EXPO by the Krasnodar region, was developed at the Gavrish nursery in Krymsk, located in the Krasnodar region.

  • Wild strawberry. Ryazan region

    The main feature and pride of the Ryazan region are its forests, which occupy almost a third of the region's territory. The most common type is the pine forest, covering vast areas in the north and east of the region. These areas are incredibly rich in forest harvests: an abundance of mushrooms, valuable essential oil, medicinal and tea plants is complemented by a berry feast. Blueberries, lingonberries, raspberries, cranberries, and, of course, the beloved wild strawberries.


    Wild strawberries are valued for their tasty berries and healing properties. The Latin name "fragare" translates to "fragrance." The berries of wild strawberries are indeed very aromatic, juicy, tasty, and sweet.


    Wild strawberries also benefit those seeking rejuvenating effects: the essential oil of the berries has anti-inflammatory, calming, and rejuvenating properties.
