To sit by the water and admire the sunset: atmospheric flowerbeds of the "Future in Flowers" festival
There is
not much time left until the end of the RUSSIA EXPO, but there is still a lot
of interesting things waiting for guests. Including floral expositions of all
regions of the country, which can be seen at the "Space" pavilion.
WATERCOLOR
SUNSETS. ZABAYKALSKY REGION
In its
flowerbed, the Zabaykalsky region decided to express the beauty and diversity
of its nature. That is why the composition is based on the image of mountain
ranges surrounded by flowers. Unique plant species, which are represented on
this flowerbed, are vulnerable and require special protection and attention.
And mountains personify greatness and power, purposefulness and spiritual
uplift. With the help of this composition the authors draw attention to
environmental problems and motivate to take care of nature for future
generations.
Looking at
the flowerbed, guests can notice delicate wildflowers and plants: Veronica
spicata, common heather, Carpathian bellflower, meadowsweet, sedge and
ornamental onion, as well as lavender.
BY THE
LIGHT WATER. KOMI REPUBLIC
The floral
composition of the Republic is dedicated to the largest national park of the
Northern and Subpolar Urals "Yugyd Va", which means "light
water" in Komi Zyrian. The park is part of the UNESCO World Natural
Heritage site "Virgin Forests of Komi".
The
flowerbed is designed to convey the rugged beauty of the northern region with
its vast taiga expanses, thousands of crystal clear lakes, and unique untouched
nature. In the centre you can see replicas of relic lakes of the Ice Age. The
water in the reservoir with a rocky bottom is clean and transparent, and in it,
as in a mirror, plants typical for the flora of the Komi Republic, such as
spruce and pine trees, rose and raspberry, planted along the shore, are
reflected.
A bright
accent is the sculptural image of a girl's head, made in the characteristic
technique of stone carving. For some people this girl is a symbol of the Mother
of Peace (Zarni An), depicted on the state emblem of the Republic, and some
people will see in the female image of St. Paraskeva Friday, especially revered
by the Komi peoples.
RISING SUN.
REPUBLIC OF MORDOVIA
Mordovia is
a beautiful land of steppes and lakes, and a quarter of its territory is
occupied by forests where oaks, ash trees, maples, elms, birches, spruces and
pines grow. The floral exposition in many ways epitomizes the natural diversity
of the region, as well as the rich cultural heritage and unity of ethnic
groups. The image of the republic is presented in the form of a rising sun,
symbolizing warmth, kindness and openness.
The floral
symbol of the republic is lungwort, the main decoration of forests in spring.
It is also a valuable medicinal and ornamental plant, a wonderful early honey
plant. Lungwort blooms very early in our forests and flowers for a long time.
Even at the beginning of summer, you can still see its bright blue and pink
flowers.
From 26 to 30 October, the National Centre RUSSIA will suspend its regular operations. It will be closed to visitors, and scheduled events will not be held during this period.
