Leontopodium alpinum
Although a quite small and inconspicuous plant, Edelweiss is easily the most famous of all alpine flowers and has been an important symbol of alpine purity and ruggedness since the beginning of the 1800's. Its unusual, wooly appearance is totally unique and render the plant unmistakable in the Alps.
