Part of the subscribers will decide that we are talking about the film “Kalina Red”, which was shot by the famous actor, writer and director Vasily Shukshin. But today we will talk about a plant whose name has become the name of the film.

This is Viburnum opulus L. – Viburnum vulgaris, or Viburnum red. This shrub was used as a berry and ornamental culture until the beginning of the 20th century. Currently, viburnum is mainly used to decorate the gardens and parks of the city. Although many of the berries make jam.

It remains to suffer quite a bit. Gardens will open soon.
