For the flower festival, each region presented its own flowerbed exposition. These beds are adorned not only with flowers and plants but also with vibrant regional symbols. Visit the "Space" pavilion to see what different corners of our vast country take pride in.

KHANTY-MANSI AUTONOMOUS AREA – YUGRA

For the residents of Yugra, it is quite natural that the main characters of their flowerbed are not flowers but mushrooms. Khanty-Mansiysk is home to the only museum in Russia entirely dedicated to mycology. Mushrooms are truly the calling card of the region. The exposition itself is a metaphorical Siberian forest. Its design reflects the richness and power of the region's nature, as well as its scientific activity. Therefore, the tsar-mushroom is at the center, surrounded by cedars, firs, pines, berries and other gifts of the taiga.

TYUMEN REGION

The floral exposition of the Tyumen region fully pays homage to carpet weaving. The famous carpets with their recognizable floral patterns are not just a craft but a unique cultural phenomenon and historical heritage of the region. Therefore, images of carpets adorn the region's flowerbed exposition. The embroidered flowers become an extension of the live flowers and plants. The color palette of the exposition is also taken from the colorful Tyumen carpet: black represents fertile land, wood, peat, fresh and mineral waters; gold symbolizes fields, meadows and pine forests; green and white represent the cities and forest-rich lands, modern technologies. Red reminds of luxurious fruit orchards and symbolizes beauty in all its forms.

OREL REGION

At the center of the Orel region’s composition is the art object "Book", surrounded by blooming meadow and steppe grasses. It’s easy to guess that these images hint at the main wealth of Orlovschina: the book symbolizes the literary and scientific heritage of famous local natives. The region has been the birthplace of a multitude of writers, scientists, public figures, and politicians. The book also symbolizes knowledge, the flight of imagination and the boundless possibilities that education gives us. The mirrored pages of the book reveal the natural wealth of the region, inviting viewers to its endless meadows and fields.
