The stamp features a sunflower – the national flower of Ukraine. It has become a symbol of peace and unity. The bright yellow flower, which has deep meaning for Ukrainians, can be seen throughout the country, including as adornment in the vinok, the traditional floral headdress. The yellow sunflower is shown against a blue-sky background, reflecting the country’s flag colours of yellow and blue.
