The Rose of Jericho is one of the most fascinating plants in the world. Often called the Resurrection Plant, it can survive in a dry, dormant state for years and then appear to come back to life when placed in water.

It also makes a thoughtful gift and a great conversation piece, as many people have never seen a plant revive in this way before.
