This mountainous region between Russia to the north and Iran to the south is nestled between the Black Sea to the west and the Caspian Sea to the east. The area is the homeland of many plants that have found their way into the home landscapes of temperate zone gardens. Many plant species were "discovered" by European plant explorers in this region and were then introduced to the rest of the world.
