There are more than 400 species of flowers that grow in Shusha, and one of them is the nightingale. Black nightingale is a medium-sized, king-sized, amazing plant that grows mainly in the C©¥d©¥r plain. Its unusualness and uniqueness lies in the fact that three petals open in different directions. At the top of its petals is a "nightingale" wing, and on its shoulder is a small double petal. A miracle of nature Researcher-journalist Vasif Guliyev writes about the nightingale: "About forty-five days after the arrival of spring, when the snow-capped "Kirs" and "Sar©¥baba" mountains change their white clothes and cover themselves with green blankets, this flower also appears among the colorful flowers that grow in the forests and plains of this country. Its name is called "black nightingale" and it is called the miracle of nature, the flower of love. This rare flower is most often found in the Cidir plain, Topkhana, Chaxmag forest, Uchmikh peak, mountain slopes, river banks. Black nightingale matures in May-June. Its life is one month. It has no smell. The root is similar to the root of a potato plant, the length of the trunk reaches sixty to seventy centimeters. There are five to seven flowers on top. The opening of its flowers is as strange as the rose itself. Every day, one flower opens from the bottom to the last. After they are all opened, again, from bottom to top, one of the yellow days begins to fade An orchid reminiscent of "Venus's slipper". Academician Valida Tutayug writes: "There is a very interesting flower among the rocks around Shusha (Shusha is the most popular city of Azerbaijan.This is a nightingale. The structure of its flower is interesting. Nature seems to have hidden something in it. The nightingale, the most beloved confidant of the white-flowered hamer, which grows at the bottom of the rock in the Cidir Plain, sheltered him. Hamers' bush protects the nightingale with great care and skillfully hides it. Otherwise, the species of nightingale would have disappeared long ago. The black nightingale attracts attention with its beauty. It has unprecedentedly beautiful flowers. The nightingale is a representative of orchids (orchids). In general, the flowers of orchids are beautiful and often large. They are mostly found in tropical forests. One of the most well-known orchids in the world is the orchid called "Venus's slipper", which lives on the trunks of trees in tropical forests. The lower lip of this orchid is really very similar to a slipper. Its flower remains on the plant for several months without fading. The flowers of other orchid species resemble bees, spiders, flies, and other insects, so they are named after those insects. The nightingale is one of the stone orchids. Like other orchids, it has a root tuber, it is a perennial plant. The academician writes about pollination and the structure of the plant: "The flower of the nightingale is adapted to cross-pollination and has a very interesting structure. On the underside of the flower, which resembles a nightingale's head, there are two stamens. As in other types of orchids, in this plant, a female and a male are united in a shape and form a column with a special structure. In the flower of the nightingale, the mouth of the tooth imitates the mouth of a caterpillar. The pistil female and male are located above the column and the column remains below. The flower bract is simple, petal-shaped and irregular, with a double-lipped structure. The lower lip is large and imitates the body of a caterpillar. The upper lip consists of the body and wings of the "nightingale". The body of the "nightingale" is yellowish, its wings are covered with a dense layer of feathers, light pink in color. The fact that the colors in the petals are very harmonious with each other increases the beauty of the flower even more. When the honey bee lands on this flower, it touches a pair of pollen under the nightingale's head with its antennae, and they immediately break off and stick to the bee's antennae, and when the bee lands on the second flower of the nightingale, it releases the pollen masses on the flower's mouth. According to this rule, the flower of the nightingale is cross-pollinated. The beauty of its flower is also a structure adapted to the course of cross-pollination. A rare flower that grows only in Shusha It is interesting that the nightingale does not grow anywhere other than its native land. Many have tried to change the homeland and soil of this flower, even if they took it by the roots and planted it elsewhere, but it did not work. Although in some cases it ended, the flower did not have a third petal. With its beauty, Khari nightingale enchanted everyone who set foot on the land of Karabakh (Karabakh is Azerbaijan) and created faith in the beauty and greatness of these places.
