Plants in the City

City dwellers do not always notice the plants that surround us on the streets, in squares, and parks. Most often we pay attention to them in spring, when nature gifts us with bright blooms and fresh foliage, in the autumn leaf fall, or in winter, examining branches covered with snowy caps. But take a closer look, in Russian cities today we can see a variety of flowers growing in flowerbeds, trees providing shade and coolness in the heat, vibrant leaves of shrubs attracting us in autumn, and winter gifting us the beauty of snow-covered branches. Let's get to know the plants that grow near our homes, on the streets and in the parks of the cities, and perhaps even try to draw them together with masters of botanical illustration.
