Leontopodium Alpinum

There`s a flower Which loves height Of the mountain tops Growing in crevices of rock It survives sun, wind and snow Where no other species can grow In Austria and Switzerland up in the Alps Leontopodium alpinum is something you may see You need to look carefully and mind where you tread They are beautiful to look at , with a flower so small and white They are better known by the name Edlewiess which can be translated To mean noble and white

Thank you for the information and comment much appreciated. I believe it has many names but always they refer to something very special. It was very good to hear your version.
