Edelweiss (Song)The famous song "Edelweiss" from The Sound of Music was named after the Edelweiss, the flower; the great popularity of the song led to the mistaken belief that it is the national anthem of Austria (much like the popular song "Waltzing Matilda" is widely incorrectly believed to be the national anthem of Australia). The music was written by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and was the final song that the great duo wrote together.
