"...This extraordinary flower grows in the high mountains of Austria, Germany and Switzerland. It is Switzerland’s national flower. It is the symbol of deep love and devotion whereby men harvest the flower on daring steeps and fatal climbs to prove their love and devotion. It is also the symbol of adventure and sacrifice. The actual German translation of the word, “Edelweiss,” literarily means noble and white. Edelweiss has a woolly appearance of white hairs, on its leaf and flower structures that create the flower’s hairy and silvery character. It grows to heights of 16 inches and develops its flower into a double-star formation..."

"...The name Echinacea originates from the Greek echinos, which describes the nature of a hedgehog or sea urchin, in reference to the bristly scales of the dried seed head. In the Native American world, Echinacea was a miracle flower. It was used to withstand intense heat. It is a powerful immune booster and can provide the body with extra defenses against seasonal illnesses all year long. It is used to relieve aches and pains and also an excellent remedy when it comes to upper respiratory health. Looking at a stand of Echinacea gives you a sense of vitality and robust power..."
