With that hormone, Edelweiss can bloom and last up to 10 years, even more. Because it is called an eternal flower, edelweiss is often picked to be used as a souvenir or memento and brought down by climbers. Even though Edelweiss has been banned from being picked because it is feared it could threaten the population of the protected Javanese Edelweiss flower Javanese Edelweiss (Javanese Edelweiss) or which has the scientific name Anaphalis Javanica usually grows no more than 1 meter.
