the beauty of mountain plants such as mountain moss, aidelwis, and several other plants. read the story below.
hy all serey friends good morning, this time I will post right, the beautiful plant plants that are on my mountain climb yesterday, then I keep on paying attention to my gratitude.

the beautiful flower in the mountains is the eternal flower why it is said to be eternal, the average flower of Edelweis grows with a height of about 1 meter. The size of the stem is about the size of an adult's foot. But actually, this Edelweis flower can grow to reach a height of 8 meters. A relatively high size for a flowering plant.
One of the uniqueness of this plant is the flower. After picking from the stem, Edelweis flowers will still look fresh in a very long time. Therefore Edelweis flowers are often dubbed as "eternal flowers".

The beautiful flowers turned out to be very interesting for the insects around them. In one Edelweis flower plant there are around 300 species of insects that perch there, such as butterflies, beetles, bees, tirips, wasps and other insects. In addition to the aislewis flower, there are also many beautiful plants such as mountain moss and flower plants that depend on other plants, why is that flower that he lives on other tree trunks, even though his life depends on other trees you are not inferior to other plants , he did not harm the driver but made the penompang tree beautiful in the scenery that met between two beautiful flowers, while the climbers who climbed the mountain government also made a ban on picking the eternal flowers because there were seven facts prohibited from picking the flowers.
1. Edelweis can only grow in mountainous regions
Edelweiss flowers usually grow in places with an altitude of around 2000 mpdl and above, also depending on the air temperature and humidity at that height. So bringing it down will only make this flower wither and die.
2. Why are flowers eternal?
This is because the edelweis flower contains hormones that can prevent the loss of flower petals, namely ethylene. With this, edelweis can bloom for up to 10 years.

3. Now it can be cultivated
Currently edelweis flowers can be cultivated especially in the highlands. An example is on the Dieng plateau. You can find and buy edelweiss flowers cultivated by farmers.
Usually cultivated by planting saplings that grow from seeds and spread around the parent tree and planted in the media of calcareous or sandy clay with pH (soil acidity) between 4-7.

4. Edelweis is protected by law
Indeed, many have understood that pulling and carrying edelweis down from the mountain is an act that is not allowed. And every climbing place has set rules to appeal to climbers not to pick edelweiss, but there are still many who ignore it.
In addition to violating the mountain climbing code of ethics, revoking edelweiss can also be punished according to Law Number 5 of 1990 concerning Ecosystem Biodiversity Conservation article 33 paragraph 1.

5. Made a symbol and logo
Edelweiss flowers spread over several European highlands are often used as symbols and symbols, such as symbols on coins and the logo of an institution. In Indonesia alone, Javanese edelweiss flowers were used as pictures on postage stamps by Pos Indonesia in 2003.
6. Edelweis is threatened with extinction
In 1988, there were 636 recorded stems taken from Mount Gede Pangrango National Park, which was one of the last refuges of edelweiss flowers. Meanwhile in the area of Bromo edelweis reportedly has become extinct.

7. The best place to see edelweiss
Tegal Alun Mount Papandayan is allegedly the best place to see edelweiss flowers. The total area of Tegal Alun ranges from 32 hectares and almost in all areas can be found in edelweic flowers growing naturally. Suryakencana Square and Mandalawangi Valley in Mount Gede Pangrango National Park also have a vast expanse of edelweiss flowers.
that's the fact that it is forbidden to pick flowers, besides being damaging, it is also a shame that the flowers are rare flowers, if the flowers are not planted in places that are not supportive, chances are the plant dies.
thank you all for your attention, I
say thank you.
