Which flower is capable of living for hundreds of years?
Welwitschia
The Welwitschia mirabilis is a fascinating plant found in the deserts of Namibia and Angola, capable of living for more than 1000 years. This resilience is all the more remarkable as it survives in extreme conditions, with little annual rainfall. The Welwitschia has only two leaves that continue to grow throughout its life, curling and splitting under the effect of wind and the aridity of the desert. This plant is a true marvel of nature, showcasing the incredible adaptation of plant species.
