I think there is some ambiguity between stars and flowers going on in the MS. This is clear when you see the Virgo figure holding a star on a stalk the way she'd usually hold a flower. Or the fact that many of the figures' stars connect with a line to the "ground". No idea why though.
About Edelweiss specifically, I wonder if it was noteworthy at all in the Middle Ages. Certainly its rise in popular prominence is relatively recent.
