Edelweiss

Exquisite, Alpine daisy-like flowers
Desired for my concrete, city garden.
Emblem of pure love and deep devotion 
Labeled as "noble white" by old Germans.
When my star-shaped petals began to droop,
Environmental pollution at fault;
I was told they are hardy, however
Success would be greater if I moved to
Switzerland - and a garden in the Alps.

Congratulations on winning my contest with this fine acrostic, Reason:-) The title of your poem reminds me of "The Sound of Music" song!
