 Last night we heard some noise. One of the cats threw something on the ground. Is was our completely dry Rose of Jericho. Had no water the last 4 or 5 years. So we put it in a bowl, and today it's green again. Strange how some plants can survive endless without water.

The rose a week later

Nice DOF and texture. I like the bit of hightlights on the tips of the plant.

That's amazing it can survive and then come back like that. Nice patterns and texture.

That is one neat looking plant! Does it get flowers on it?

I agree that it looks almost alien......like some science fiction creature, emerging to take over the world.

No kidding - how very interesting and a little frightening. These look like alien baby arms reaching up. Fascinating plant.

I've never seen this plant before. It's quite lovely, but a bit strange at the same time. Amazing detail, love the green.

Wow, to bad all plants don't respond like that, I could save a lot of money by not having to replace them when they don't get water. LOL

I'll let it dry up and make a photo again. It's the perfect plant for everyone of us who sometimes forget to give the plants some water. Main disadvantage: it looks sometimes a bit dusty.

Wish that theory had worked on my basil plants! LOL

That is amazing ! Did you forget to water it ??? Lovely textures. My kitten is slowly wreaking my dried floral arrangements- bringing me pieces once she has mutilated them !
