Flower of Life, War memorial on the Road of Life in Vsevolozhsky District, Leningrad Oblast, Russia

The Flower of Life is a 15-metre concrete monument: a narrow shaft held by three tapering fins, topped by a six-petalled flower. Its panels carry Cyrillic words — "ВЕСНА", "БУДЕТ", "ПУСТЬ", "СЧАСТЛИВОЕ" — and a carved child's head. The complex also includes the Alley of Friendship and the mourning mound "Tanya Savicheva's Diary", eight stelae shaped as diary pages.

The memorial opened in 1968 and forms part of the Green Belt of Glory, a series of sites marking defense positions around Leningrad during the 1941-1944 siege. This section of the commemorative landscape honors the young people who defended the city.

The memorial's cultural life centres on the birch grove behind the monument, where 900 trees were planted by schoolchildren from Leningrad and Vsevolozhsk in memory of the "900 days" of the siege, the figure used in Olga Berggolts's poems. Since 2011 pupils of Vsevolozhsk gymnasium No. 214 have tied red pioneer neckerchiefs around the trunks, usually on 8 September or 19 May.

The complex stands at the 3rd kilometre of the Road of Life (A128) in Vsevolozhsky District. The annual international winter marathon "Road of Life" finishes beside the memorial. The monument, the Alley of Friendship and the Tanya Savicheva mound are separate stops on the grounds, and the birch grove lies behind the flower.

Behind the monument stands a grove of exactly 900 birches, planted by schoolchildren from Leningrad and Vsevolozhsk for the 900 days of the siege as counted in Olga Berggolts's poems. Since 2011, pupils of Vsevolozhsk gymnasium No. 214 have tied red pioneer neckerchiefs around the trunks, usually on 8 September or 19 May.
