The Edelweiss has a deep symbolism: 
"This flower itself is a symbol of the wild and rustic beauty of the Alpine mountains in Northern Europe.  
 The edelweiss bloom carries a meaning of devotion. The symbolism of devotion derives from the fact that the edelweiss flower grows in some of the toughest alpine conditions in the world. In spite of alpine extremes in the remotest places in the Swiss, German and Austrian Alps, this delicate yet hardy flower thrives.  
In the past, Bavarian men would brave going high up into the Alps to fetch one of these unique flowers to bring to their loved ones. The popularity of the Edelweiss flower exploded in 1856, when the Austrian Emperor, Franz Joseph I, was on a mountain hike with his wife Sisi, and gave her one. 
With the advent of Alpinism in the 19th century, this flower further became a legend that was well-known as a symbol of strength, adventure, sacrifice and courage – all valuable qualities to have in the first place when climbing in the Alps to get one!  "
