Species of Orpheus flowers

Resurrection plant

The resurrection plant gets its name from its remarkable resilience, as it can live without water for up to seven years by going into a dormant state. During this dormancy, resurrection plant detaches from its roots and curls up, blowing around like very small tumbleweeds. Once it reaches a source of water, it re-roots and develops fresh foliage, including purple and white flowers.
