Fun Fact:
According to folklore, many brave men have mountaineered to dangerous and fatal locations in the European Alps to harvest the rare Edelweiss flower to give to their loved ones as a sign of their love and devotion. Unfortunately, some would fall to their death and each Edelweiss botanical represents a tear shed in their memory. Talk about devotion!
Edelweiss is also the National flower of Switzerland.
