SWITZERLAND-EDELWEISS-BOUQUET
A handout photo released by the Agroscope Changins-Waedenswil (ACW) institute 07 January 2008 shows a bouquet made with a new variety of Edelweiss (white) with Echinops (blue) and Astrantia (red). Swiss botanists have created a variety of the famous Edelweiss flower that can be used in flower arrangements. The silver-starred Alpine flower usually only grows between 1,800 and 3,000 meters above sea level (5,905-9,842 feet), but researchers at the Agroscope Changins-Waedenswil institute in southwestern Switzerland have developed a longer-stemmed version that can be grown in soil or a household pot. The new variety of Edelweiss has a stem measuring between 20 to 30 centimeters (8-12 inches) but work is continuing in the hope of making them even longer and thus more conducive to commercial production.
