 Dry & closed. |  Wet & open |
Just another awesome wonder of one of the Creators creations.. Storm bought me the coolest plant' for my birthday!
Storm gave me a very dry, crumbly, delicate ball of plant material at my birthday lunch. It resembled a tiny tumbleweed!
I told him, just days before - I was thinking of tumbleweeds! Thinking it would look great painted on a black background... and here he drops a tiny tumble weed in my hand. You can see the roots, it's as light as a feather & I know if I squeeze it would be crushed. The included instructions advise us to put it in water & wait... I had the perfect container, put water in, dropped the plant inside and we waited and watched - amazed when this very dead ball opened into a soft, GREEN flower by the end of the evening - resembling a funky thin cactus (as above). A miracle.
Actually it is considered the resurrection plant, because of how incredibly it returns back to life. Witnessed with my own eyes, I'd never think the two images were one in the same, felt with my own hands - the tiny miracle is awesome. It's officially called: The Rose of Jericho it can survive years in the dried state - add a tiny bit of water & it's back to lush green life. Now removed from the bowl in a dish with rocks, a fascinating addition to our home. I kept the water as it's considered holy by many & why not... All water is holy! Perfect timing with Easter around the corner. I love it, one more of Gods amazing creations!
This was the perfect gift to remind us = Jesus is our greatest gift.
