JAKARTA - Aurel Hermansyah received criticism from netizens for getting Edelweiss flowers from Atta Halilintar on Mount Bromo. This was conveyed by Aurel Hermansyah on his Instagram.
"Good morning everyone.. yesterday at Bromo, my husband gave Edelweiss flowers... he said this is the flower of immortality," wrote Aurel Hermansyah on his Instagram.
The post immediately received criticism from netizens. Many of them said that Aurel Hermansyah should not have to withdraw the flower.
"Oh my God, it's really a pity that flowers are picked," said the alu **** account.
"Isn't the edelweiss protected, right? How come Atta can take that much edelweiss, is it okay to pick protected flowers? Please enlighten me," explained another account.
However, there are also netizens who explain that the Edelweiss flower is cultivated by the people around Bromo. The flowers are sold to visitors to Bromo.
"Actually, the name of any plant is a pity if you pick it. Edelweiss is cultivated by the locals for the purpose of picking it because there is one custom of the Tengger tribe using edelweiss flowers. The solution from the local government is to cultivate edelweiss so that people don't pick wild edelweiss while maintaining the traditions of the Tengger tribe. "The important thing is that tourists don't pick wild edelweiss, yes, buy them from local residents who do cultivate them. Mayan can increase the income of local residents," wrote @taradea.syahnagra.
After the upload went viral, Aurel Hermansyah deleted the photo. Atta then explained that the Adelweiss flowers given to Aurel were not picked from the wild but were bought for Rp. 40,000.
"So someone sells flowers, 'bang please help me'. He only sells it, I buy it because I help people who sell it. I'm not a perfect person, if I make a mistake, please forgive me," said Atta, quoted from the Cumicumi YouTube channel, Tuesday, 15 June.
