The flower was designed by women from the association "Gračaničko keranje" from Gračanica, and was presented to the public for the first time on July 1, 2011. The white color of the flower petals represents innocence or suffering, the green color in the center of the flower represents hope, and the 11 petals symbolize July 11, 1995..

Sarajevo artist Mensur Bektić made a similar filigree flower, which has 11 petals, and each petal consists of 7 components. Parts of the silver flower are associated with human eyes - the eyes of genocide victims, but also Bosniak survivors. In the middle of the flower is a green glass stone. The filigree flower will be made in series of 8,372 pieces, which is the official number of victims of the Srebrenica genocide. There are several variations of this symbol, made by artists or students at art academies, and in the settlement of Mokušnice in Zenica there is one variation with flowers made in a roundabout.
