National Flower of Ukraine - Sunflower



Flowers have been always held in great admiration in Ukraine. You would hardly find a peasant house without flowers growing here and there around it. 


Ukrainians believe that flowers are a special gift from God. Flowers in the everyday life of Ukrainians has grown considerably — and seems to continue to grow. Hardly any occasion of some significance can do without flowers which are presented in bouquets of considerable sizes.
Flowers have made their way onto embroidered decorative towels, tablecloths, shirts and dresses, and into paintings and murals not only on the walls of public houses but on the walls of private homes as well. Flowers feature in songs, poetry and in art.
