Climbers friends, on this occasion we will both discuss about the familiar flowers that ring in our ears, the Edelweiss, many people call it the Everlasting Flower, the symbol of immortality. First of all we will discuss,
What is the Edelweiss Flower ?.
The Edelweis flower is a beautiful flower that not everyone can see because this flower does not grow anywhere, it only grows on land that has a plateau, at least above 1000 mdpl.
So, if we want to see this beautiful flower, we are required to travel uphill first, after the cape, body limp and feel thirst, then we are allowed to chat with the Edelweis flowers.
Not only that which makes this flower so special, walking uphill until cape does not guarantee you to see this immortal flower, because only on certain mountains we can smell the flower of Edelweis. In Indonesia alone the Edelweis flower only grows in Gunung Gede, Pangrango, Papandayan and Malabar, on land that is in the highlands, chalky or sand and has a soil acidity of 4 to 7.
Cool, beautiful, challenging and rare are the four words of me to describe the Edelweiss flowers, though, surely such a thing would not be a big problem for mountain climbers like us. Climbing, facing challenges, penetrating the wild and exhausting is a balanced price so we can enjoy this eternal flower. Even according to mountain climbers, the Edelweis flower is a relief of thirst and a gift of fatigue.
The Myth of the Edelweiss Flower.
When we talk about the Edelweiss flowers, we can not talk about the beauty alone, we can not be separated from the myths contained in the Edelweiss, because, believe, do not believe, the power of myth is very strong.
It is said that the Edelweis flower is able to make the love bonds that exist in two human beings who love each other to be very strong and their love becomes immortal, as the Edelweiss interest is defined as a symbol of being.
Whoever picks and gives Edelweis flowers to his partner, then the relationship he is building with his partner will be eternal and not easy to end. Because of this myth the climbers in droves picking and giving these rare flowers to their partners. In the end we, the mountaineers, are required to mature in addressing the myth.
The Edelweis Flower Is One Of The Victims Of The Hands Of The Mountain Climber.
The result of this myth of the beautiful flower is the action of mountain climbers who are far away from the morale of nature lovers, that is, they pluck the Edelweiss flowers and give them to the idol of the heart.
Until the end, the hands of these mountain climbers' ignorant men made this rare flower increasingly scarce, reducing the beauty of the mountain and making the impression that mountaineers were the epitome of the destruction of the universe.
From time to time, this flower is increasingly rare in existence, even some time ago In Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, this perennial flower is declared extinct and in 1988, from February to October, there were 636 stalks that have been picked by the hands ignorant. A fantastic figure is not it ?.
From such circumstances, who is worthy of responsibility, are myths already spread among our society or the owners of ignorant ignorant hands in dealing with the myth ?. The answer lies in our own conscience.
May I quote a bit of Alexander Supertramp's statement about love, if possible then it sounds like this.
