Legend of the German Edelweiss


 According to Alpine folklore, suitors proved their
love by climbing high crags of the Alps in search
of the flower. Tragically, many suitors fell
to their death or died of exposure to the weather.
The Edelweiss is still worn today and featured
on German beer steins as a decorative
symbol of love, bravery, strength, and dedication.
Its popularity with the German and Austrian
emperors earned the edelweiss the title,
"Flower of Emperors and Kings."
