Meet the Resurrection Plant, a true botanical wonder also known as Selaginella lepidophylla. This desert native curls into a dry tumbleweed when dehydrated, then dramatically unfurls into a lush green rosette with just a splash of water. It’s not just a plant — it’s a living science experiment, conversation starter, and symbol of resilience.
