I'll copy the entry next to the photograph: ...It's not surprising that this image is from a royal garden of some sort; araucaria (the pipe-cleaner-looking trees) are native only to South America and Australasia. Paul Gavrilovic has more and better information: "[Dagomys is] a resort town on the black sea in Georgia, known today as Sochi. A popular resort in imperial times as well as for Soviet citizens. The climate is subtropical, kind of like the coast of the Carolinas in the U.S. Which explains the Araucaria trees. The garden, although here royal conservatory, is typical of the area--palm trees and other tropical plants are found throughout the towns on the Black Sea, from Odessa to Yalta (Crimea) to Sukhumi and Gagry (Georgia). In fact, the Krasnodar region, just north of the Caucasus, as well as Georgia, are tea-growing areas, which shows how mild the climate there is." It’s araucaria.

It looks like a 'Monkey Puzzle' tree, but that is a tropical tree and that scene doesn't look tropical. Tatyana,

What kind of tree is that? It looks like a ‘Monkey Puzzle’ tree, but that is a tropical tree and that scene doesn’t look tropical.
