(via The Queen of the Heights: Edelweiss (Floarea de Colț) +video and views)
The Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum), known in Romania as Floarea de Colț, is more than just a plant; it is a symbol of purity, courage, and the rugged beauty of the Carpathian Mountains. Clinging to steep limestone cliffs where few dare to climb, this small, velvet-like flower is one of the most sought-after sights for hikers and nature photographers.
