Those who watched The Sound of Music must have been impressed by the song sung by Captain Georg Ludwig von Trapp and his family during the concert as a defiant statement of Austrian patriotism in the face of the pressure put upon him to join the navy of Nazi Germany. Edelweiss is the title of the song.
Edelweiss is one of the best–known European mountain flowers, belonging to the sunflower family. Its white colour is considered a symbol of purity and according to its legend, Edelweiss is also a symbol of love, bravery, strength, and dedication.
My eldest daughter bought this collectible spoon on her flight to Austria. It reminds me of both the film and also of what it represents.
