The correct spelling is Edelweiss, although the correct pronunciation is with the "w" making a "v" sound. Edelweiss was also a song from "Sound of Music" about the Von Trapp family making their way out of Germany during World War II. The song lyrics are:
Edelweiss...
Edelweiss...
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Lonesome and slowly
You bloom and grow
Bloom and blow forever...
Edelweiss...
Edelweiss...
Bless my homeland forever...
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Lonesome and slowly
You bloom and grow
Bloom and blow forever...
Edelweiss...
Edelweiss...
Bless my homeland forever...
Great classic movie if you've never seen it.
