Goggle says...
The alpine Edelweiss, which in the German language means noble and white, is found generally at altitudes from 1700 meters to 2700 meters.
Edelweiss prefers calcareous light soils with excellent drainage and southern exposure, where it likes to form herbal mats, growing from 8 cm to 20 cm tall.

Edelweiss flowers are classified as short lived perennials, which after being picked during a number of growing seasons from the same plant, are unable to propagate by seeding and will disappear from an formerly established area.

The Edelweiss flower has since time immemorial been valued as medicine against the ailments of men and their beasts, as powerful Talisman to ward off evil and of course as the "Ultimate Love Charms" of the mountains.

Love struck young men would try to endear themselves by collecting Edelweiss from those hard to access crags and ledges in the High Alpine of Europe.
During these quests many died from falls, or succumbed to exposure, insufficiently prepared for sudden weather changes.

As many as 50 perished in just one season!

The danger wrought exercise of collecting such a bouquet proved in those days that the suitor was brave, able-bodied and serious in his intentions. A mixing of flowers and machismo rarely seen in western culture.

At the International Conference of Alpine Clubs in Obwalden, Switzerland (1878) in conjunction with the governments of Austria, Switzerland, Germany and Italy, the Edelweiss was protected in a large part of the European Alps.
By that time it had already disappeared along the more popular hiking and climbing routes.


I think...
A kind of self-mutilation. To protect the alps (or the young men of the alps) and the noble Edelweiss the girl used a pair of scissors to cut the flower out of her hand.

Am I right?

oh... go ahead and print that on the shirt

^ Good point.

Oh... i still don't get it??

I don't have time to read that long post, someone tell me why she's holding a starfish.

the flower came from the Alps....she cut the flower FROM the Alps, and the blood represents that of the men who climbed the Alps to get the flower and died in the process...symbolism, dearies. hippie symbolism.
and i think it's beautiful.

it's lovely to see that you already got the interpretation right -nothing left to add...

Why was this shirt hard to understand? It's not, really...

someone summarize the long post
