A Unique Flower.
The Flower of Karabakh is
the Khari bulbul (Ophrys Caucasica) which
is often associated with the town of Shusha. Legends say that the flower is
grown only in Shusha, but ten different species have been found throughout the
old Soviet Union territories.
Khari means “bee” and bulbul means
“nightingale.” There are some stories behind the name of the flower. Some state
the flower is named Khari bulbul because when looking closely at
the flower, one can see a close resemblance to a bee or bird.
Others attribute the name to a legend about how the flower was first created: “Once upon a time there was a nightingale that fell in love with a flower. The nightingale loved and protected the flower and was warbling for her all day. One day a bee saw the flower and wanted to taste her nectar. When the nightingale saw the bee flying toward the flower, he prevented it with his breast. They clashed in the air and the bee stung the nightingale. But the bird did not die. His love and courage changed him into another flower, together with the bee that wanted to sting him.”
