I'm sure I messed up somewhere with capitalization writing that title Hilarious!


What a wonderful photo of the pink flowes, I was wondering, do you know what plant is in the front with the white pom-poms? I'm sure it must be a wonderful combo of plants. So many fuzzies and flowers.

I got this one from edelweiss nursery here in Oregon. It lasted for two or three years before it finally just died out.
It bloomed every year, I need to learn more about how to grow them from seed.

I think my MIL got some plants also, but I think it just gets too warm here for them.

I wonder if they need cold stratification given where they come from?

Unless I've led myself into mentally storing some wrong information, (which is always possible,) alpine plants are unlikely to accept high temps, lots of humidity, &/or low elevations (higher levels of oxygen). Because I can't control those factors and all three are present at my location, I usually avoid plants described as alpine.

Can anyone hear the word Edelweiss w/o thinking of The Sound of Music?

Edelweiss, edelweiss, every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright,
You look happy to meet me.
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow,
Bloom and grow forever.
Edelweiss, edelweiss, bless my homeland forever.
