A Rose of Jericho three hours after being watered having nearly returned to is previous alive state

The Rose of Jericho(Anastatica hierochuntica) is a species of resurrection plant. These plants are characterized by their ability to use Poikilohydric mechanisms which enable them to survive extreme dehydration for years at a time.

Botany is probably about a third of why I’m on this site, and what I do here. So much love.
