Selaginella lepidophylla, or "False Rose of Jericho" is part of a species of plants that can lay dormant without water for years, resurrecting themselves only when the wind blows them across the desert to a water source, or when their shallow root systems detect rain. Once wet, their evergreen-like fronds unfold, turn green and they can release their seeds.

This particular plant is native to the Chihuahuan desert and does not need to be rooted to resurrect. The "Real" Rose of Jericho is native to North Africa and the Middle East and will not resurrect unless it is rooted. 

Place your dried plant in a shallow dish of water and watch it come to life. It's pretty incredible to witness.

Includes an info card with care instructions and a ritual.
