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.

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.
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.
