A legend about yellow flowers relates to the World War I period when French soldiers addressed a local elder woman in French. She was watering the flowers and she didn’t hear or understand well. The soldiers greeted her by saying “Bonjour” in French. She thought they said Bozur (peony), which is Serbian name for a red flower, so she corrected them that her flowers were not peony, but yellow flowers. That is why the yellow color is symbolic for Vranje.
