  1. 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 💮

  6. "Bring me Edelweiss" - Edelweiss

    Record Mirror said, "This idiotic gem should be at the top of the pop charts within days, chucking Abba, In Deep and scratching into a stew packed with E numbers."

    Everything happens in these three minutes: yodelling, cowbells, lederhosen-slapping, chants, milkmaids dancing in low-cut dresses, and the titular flowers.

    Song of the still-young night, surely?!
