Some wild Edelweiss

Seen near the Turtmann hut, Wallis/Valais Alps, Switzerland on July 12th, 2022.

 

Yes, I know - "Sound of Music", "Doe, a deer", "Every morning you greet me", "Bless my...my...what?...for ever" and so on. But let me tell you the truth: I've done a hell of a lot of mountain walking in the Austrian Alps, but so far I never hit upon any Edelweiss there. Even though I know there is a high area in the Alps of Styria, where apparently you see them in abundance. And as they are strictly protected, nobody is going to be inconsiderate enough to pick them...The places where I saw Edelweiss all lie in the Swiss canton of Wallis/Valais.
