It's pretty and has a beautiful fragrance. It's also dangerously poisonous - but sometimes a useful medicine!
Spotlight on Russia goes in search of the Lily-of-the-Valley
Russia has many beautiful plants and flowers, and one of the prettiest is the lily-of-the-valley. It is not just found in valleys, but in shaded areas in gardens and woods. Many plants often grow close together to make large, dense patches. Lily-of-the-valley has two broad glossy leaves at the base of the plant. Its flowers are small, white, fragrant and bell-shaped. The petals on each flower curl backwards and upwards at the tips. The flowers hang downwards from a single leafless stalk. In the autumn, it produces shiny red berries.
Pretty as it is, lily-of-the-valley is highly-poisonous in every part if consumed by humans or animals. So it might surprise you to know that it has been used in folk medicine for centuries! When collected, dried and prepared in the right way, the plant can be a remedy for a number of health conditions, mostly relating to the heart.
Mostly, people use lily-of-the-valley for decorating their homes or giving as a gift. It is also a popular flower in bridal bouquets. Today, people also like to see it growing in its natural surroundings, as a charming symbol of the Russian woodlands.
For many years lily-of-the-valley was considered an endangered plant in Russia. Fortunately, its number has stopped declining. However, some species of lily-of-the-valley are listed in regional Red Lists among the other plants that are protected in a specific region.
