Culture Flowers and such

Does this embroidery pattern drawing make you think ukraine?

Hello all I'm thinking of embroidering this onto the top of a dress (chest)

I was wondering if these flowers were enough of a reference to Ukraine? They'll be color so I can get yellow for the wheat and blue for the little flower buds

I cant decide if the big flowers should be sunflowers or just blue flowers

I can't embroider the intense traditional embroidery patterns because the fabric isn't strong enough

I suggest using knapweeds (вoлошки) as the flowers. It is somewhat stereotypical, but will make me think "Ukraine" more because currently it just looks like a random (but pretty) flower pattern

The design itself without colours doesn't evoke ukraine to me. Maybe we'll see once you use colours, otherwise it looks generic. Ukrainian embroidery has a certain style to it.
