If you like to climb a mountain through the snow fields almost to the top, you might be able to pick some Edelweiss, although not to be recommended. It is much easier to buy it in the store, although keep it in the fridge now and again. It does not like hot weather.

Fiction Writing
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

Chronicles of an Anglo Swiss 
We tried to grow it here. It did not do well at all. The seed germinated, and then immediately shriveled. It is very discriminating! It really wants to be in the Alps.

I am no,expert, but I believe you have to put the seeds in a refrigerator before germination

Yes, that was done. The seed were ‘pre-chilled’ and chilled again before getting sown. They germinated, but shriveled soon afterward. I suspect that the medium (potting soil) was too rich for them. They naturally live in rocky scree that falls from the tops of the Alps.

Maybe you don’t know that Pat, but Edelweiss MUST NOT be picked, anywhere! They are protected goods and have been for – just about forever!. Same thing for the Enzian…. So buy them at the store, please.

If I wanted to I couldn’t. I do not think that I would get up a mountain with my scooter or wheelchair and the walker is out of the question. It is the Migros that sell them here.

I know that you can’t do that now. We however , when we lived in Canada a loooong time ago, got one day a wonderous parcel from elderly friends from Switzerland. It contained, wonder oh wonder, some Enzian and an Edelweiss or two in softly padded once wet tissue, Swiss biscuits and chocolate. I was in such a shock that they did something forbidden for us that I couldn’t even enjoy the generous gesture! 😉
