My Choice 38 - André Rieu - Edelweiss

In "My Choice" series 38 we're featuring a musical beauty - "Edelweiss" which is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music. It is named after the edelweiss, a white flower found high in the Alpine hills. It is performed by André Rieu. We included photos of the flower itself and scenes of beautiful Austria.
=======================
LYRICS OF THE SONG

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
------------------
Plant biology:

Of all the Edelweiss (Edelweiß) varieties and those close relatives in the North American Antennaria family, Leontopodium alpinum is the most beautiful and sought after in the World.

The alpine Edelweiß, which in the German language means noble and white, is found generally at altitudes from 1700 meters to 2700 meters.

Edelweiss flowers are classified as short lived perennials, which after being picked during a number of growing seasons from the same plant, are unable to propagate by seeding and will disappear from an formerly established area.
