Happy Independence Day, Ukraine! Today’s Google Doodle commemorates Ukraine’s Independence Day, considered one of the most important Ukranian holidays of the year.
On this day in 1991, Ukraine officially proclaimed full autonomy from Soviet rule.
Illustrated in today’s Google Doodle is a wreath that showcases blue knapweeds and yellow sunflowers, colors that reflect the stripes of the Ukrainian flag.
The country’s national flower is the sunflower, which saw a boom of cultivation across the rich soil of present-day Ukraine in the early nineteenth century, due in part to its useful and versatile oil.
Today, sunflowers cover more than twenty percent of Ukraine’s farmable land, which helps to make the country the largest exporter of sunflower oil in the world.
