Hi Robert, I would imagine if it had a "national flower" , it would certainly have to be the Edelweiss. The 3 cherished Swiss flowers are Alpenrose (a tiny red rhododendron that makes the Alps glow in late spring, early summer) , the Enziane (deep blue, upright bellshape) and of course the Edelweiss. Good luck in finding some, Robert ! BTW What is the American national flower? I believe we just have State flowers, don't we? ----- Original Message ----- From: <SWITZERLAND-D-request@rootsweb.com> To: <SWITZERLAND-D@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 6:00 AM Subject: SWITZERLAND-D Digest V05 #81
