Crimea: The Medal on the Chest of Planet Earth
The flower garden concept of the Republic of Crimea offers a
visual representation of the famous phrase by Chilean poet and political figure
Pablo Neruda: "Crimea is the medal on the chest of Planet Earth!"
The composition is based on the achievements of the Republic
of Crimea as an undeniable example of the strength of spirit, courage, and
collective creative labor of the Crimeans and the entire Russian people. Despite
international threats, comprehensive sanctions, and transport, energy, water,
and food blockades, Crimea has been transformed into a flourishing region.
Today, this is more important than ever, as new Russian territories are following
in Crimea’s footsteps. Crimea's successes are the most convincing evidence of
the correctness and reliability of the chosen path. The flower garden project
incorporates elements that symbolize Crimea: a map of the peninsula, sea
pebbles, olive trees, roses, essential oil plants, and an amphora.
At the
center stands an olive tree, symbolizing peace and resilience. Stones represent
the Crimean Mountains. In one corner of the garden, a grapevine is planted,
while in another, a block of Crimean limestone with the coat of arms of the
Republic of Crimea is installed. An amphora, partially buried in pebbles in the
lower right corner, recalls the history of the peninsula, whereas the coins
spilled from its mouth symbolize abundance and prosperity.
The color
palette of the flower bed features cool pink and purple hues. Two categories of
flower-decorative plants are used: native species (mouse-ear, fescue, chives,
and feather grass) as well as varieties of essential oil crops bred in Crimea
(sage, hyssop, yarrow, thyme).
Along with the RUSSIA EXPO, the flower festival is also coming to an end.
The "Future in Flowers" festival continues at the RUSSIA EXPO, where unique flowerbeds from all regions of our country can be seen at the "Space" pavilion until July 8.
The RUSSIA EXPO concludes on July 8, and with it, the flower festival will also come to an end.
