In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the flower spiking Gilgamesh's hands when he plucks it symbolizes his mortality and acts as a reminder of the limitations of his power as a mortal. It illustrates the theme of mortality and the inevitability of death, despite his heroic deeds and quest for immortality.

Private Blithe, finding the body of a German soldier, plucks from his jacket an edelweiss flower, a beautiful small white flower that grows high up in the alps and in the tree line.As lieutenant Nixon says, the flower is the symbol of a true soldier.In fact, the meaning in German is an old slurred combination of noble and white, making it the flower of noble whiteness.The flower has been used as many war symbols, such as a grant of bravery to German alpine troops during WW1, the symbol of Austrian-Hungarian alpine troops during that time period, and during WW2 a German Luftwaffe unit was named for the flower, and it was used as a badge in the Hitler youth.Edelweiss was also known as Hitler's favorite flower.
