The Khari-bulbul (Azerbaijani: Xarı-bülbül, Template:Lang-arm, Georgian: ფუტკრის-დედა) or Ophrys caucasica is a flowering plant endemic to the Caucasus. It is considered by some to be "official flower" of the Azerbaijan's Karabakh region.[1] It has been recorded in numerous areas throughout Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Russia .[2][3]
The overall distribution of the species according to Delforge ranges from coastal massifs of north-east Anatolia, from Trabzon in the west, probably to the Caspian Sea.[4]
Exhibition
In 2014 an exhibition titled "Khari bulbul, a flower of peace and love" was organized by the Federal National Cultural Autonomy of Azerbaijanis in Russia.[5] In March, 2014 a presentation ceremony of the Khari Bulbul flower took place in the United States Botanic Garden Conservatory.[6]
Symbolism
The flower became the icon of the Day of Remembrance in Azerbaijan, honouring the fallen Azerbaijani soldiers during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.[7]
