Here it is, the Swiss flower of the alps. To pick one you would have to climb a few thousand meters, but the view is breathtaking from the top, otherwise if you happen to buy one from the store, then I suppose you should keep it in the fridge to get a flower.

Retired and Enjoying Every Minute of It
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.

They prefer to grow wild in the mountains.

I’m so happy to have seen it. My aunt told me of a suitor of hers, in Poland, who climbed up to get her some edelweiss. Alas, she was unmoved.

Now and again in Summer you find them in the store, but not very often.

A colleague brought seed for this back from Austria twice, but we can not grow it here! I should have known.

I am no expert, but I believe you should keep them in the fridge for a few months before trying to grow them. They like the cold.

Yes, we did that. They never even germinated. Even if they did grow, they would not likely last for long here.
