Getting flowers in the Ukraine was easier than it sounded. Well, maybe that was just what Canada thought, having purchased a particular flower for his friend (not a crush, no matter what his idiotic twin said) for years. Since her independence, in fact.
Maybe in other countries it was much harder, but Canada knew where to go to ask for sunflowers, and as the national flower of Ukraine, people were much more willing to stock to large, vibrant blossoms.
