"Edelweiss"
Take, dear Lady, take these flowers
Children born of sun and showers.
Summer sun and winter snow
Crushed the rock on which they grow;
Strength of immemorial chalk
Fed the fibers of their stalk;
Lightning, hurricane and storm
Shaped their pliancy of form,
Gleam and gloom of varying sway
Stained the petals ashen gray.
Which, like loving hearts, enfold
In their midst one spot of gold.
Fearless head and steady foot
Tracked the cradle of their root.
Now a link in friendship's chain
From the mountain to the main.
Nurslings of the central sea,
Such as late I gave to thee,
Lull the senses, charm the eye,
Bloom and whither, breathe and die.
These, by sterner process made,
Slow engendered, slowly fade.
And they bring where'er they fare
Just a whiff of Alpine air.
Lady, take these simple flowers,
Emblem meet of sun and showers.
Oscar Browning,
Davos-Platz, August 1886

"Peace… one of Life's essential choices"
The International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) released a new perfume in Cleveland to benefit the Worlds Children Peace Movement.
Canadian Edelweiss Growers whole heartedly supports their efforts!
The new fragrance with scents from Edelweiss to Lily of the Valley is the brainchild of Renate Jakupca, who together with her husband David are founders of the "ICEA", the Cleveland based organization, that in cooperation with the United Nations Culture of Peace Program, promotes peace, environmental health and civic leadership through arts and culture inspired initiatives, worldwide.
David Jakupca is the creator of the "Worlds Children Peace Monument (WCPM)" located at Coe Lake Park in Berea, Ohio. The "WCPM" was officially inaugurated in 2003 at the 3rd World Peace Conference held in Verbania, Italy by American Cultural Ambassadors David and Renate Jakupca where they received the Italian Medal of Arts. They were also recognized by the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland and in 2006 appointed Universal Peace Ambassadors. The "WCPM" is organized in support of the UN Decade of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World and the UN Millennium Development Goals.
