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

It was very good to hear your version.
