Alpine flower: I photographed this in the Swiss Alps. It's a small flower whose name translates as shepherd's pouch BUT it is not the same as what we call shepherd's pouch in English.

looks like (A dill vise.) I know thats not how it's spelled, it's the way it is pronounced. Saw it in the series Band Of Brothers,only the most fit German troops could make the climb with full pack and gear. It was worn on the lapel as a badge of honer.

You mean Edelweiss, the flower symbol of the Alps. That has no pouch like this one and the flower petals are velvety. See also how the flower center is different? But thank you for thinking about it.
