Queen Silvia bought this year's first majblomman (mayflower) digitally from Elin Eisele who is 13 years old. A sure sign of spring since 1907 is the sale of majblomman, which provides financial support to children living in financial vulnerability. According to that tradition, the Queen buys the first majblomman of the year from children who come to the Royal Palace, but this year the event took place completely digitally.
