At the #SchynigePlatte Alpine garden there are over 650 species of plants native to the Swiss Alps. #Alpengarten
#Edelweiss - a mountain flower that prefers rocky limestone places at elevations around 2000m and above, with a furry protective cover against high-altitude UV radiation. TIL that it's used in funerals in Taiwan (there's a species that's endemic in Taiwan mountains), as white symbolizes mourning and respect 🙇 I also like its symbolism of rugged beauty and nobility 💮
