I seem to be having a
problem with my Monday posts, I keep forgetting to do one, sorry for
that.
Today is Tuesday a cold
and wet day again, had to get Tasha to take Leo to meet his driver as
it has been raining all morning.
Anyway it is plant day
and today we looking at the Rose of Jericho this is a type of moss
found in the Mexican desert and can stay dried up in a ball for
months or years until enough rain falls for it to grow again.
The Rose of Jericho is
also a type of tumbleweed, a plant that can dry up, detach from its
roots and go rolling around in the wind. Some tumbleweeds just do
this as a way of spreading their seeds around but the Rose of Jericho
can turn green and start growing again once it finds water.
In fact there are two
plants known as the Rose of Jericho or resurrection plants the other
grows in Arabia and North Africa and is related to cabbages.
That is a very interesting plant. I have heard of it but didn't know anything about it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI think I have heard about this before, but the post is very interesting!☺
