“Sunflowers (sunyashniki) are especially loved in Ukraine, where golden fields of them face the sunrise in the east. They are Ukraine’s national flower, and in folk imagery represent the warmth and power of the sun.” Wreaths of sunflowers (venki) are sometimes worn. www.mircorp.com/why-is-thesunflowerthe-national-flower-of-ukraine/
