First Edelweiss....Now Tulips!

Surrounded by Edelweiss in Murren
We leave next week for Amsterdam to spend a week in the Netherlands.  We're looking forward to being there while the tulips are in bloom.  Back in 2008, we had a fantastic two week trip to Switzerland and Austria.  We spent five nights in Interlaken and took day trips to the Jungfrau and surrounding areas.  One of our day trips was to the little village of Murren.  It was here we found ourselves surrounded by Edelweiss.

Edelweiss is a low-growing ground cover, but we found some growing over a retaining wall next to the hiking path we were on.  We thought it made for a perfect picture as it's not everyday you can be surrounded by it.  With our upcoming trip to the Netherlands, we're hoping to see a panoply of tulips in bloom.  I hope to be able to add another great picture to the collection.
