"Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow... bloom and grow for ever"

A very young Christopher Plummer playing Captain Von Trapp sings the Austrian National Anthem Edelweiss in the 1965 musical, The Sound of Music. Interesting, I have just discovered that this song was written by Rodgers and Hammerstein - especially for the musical The Sound of Music, which first showed in 1959. The movie did not come out until 1965. Click on the picture for a larger version; the look on Gretl's face is priceless.
