Hi,

as you can see from the former post, the rose of jericho is not a real rose. It looks somewhat as a grey, dead ball when it's dry, and somewhat like a branch of pine when made wet.

It lives for over a hundred years and is said never to die, and thus being kept in families for over generations.

You can keep it dry for years, and then put it in a cupboard of water (cold or hot -even allmost boiling hot). Within hours, it will revive and uncurl to a nice smelling, green branch. You can keep it wet up to zeven days, after which you dry it again on the central heating system don't know what thats called in english).

In holland, you can obtain it in several herb stores and also in fantasyshops (withcraftshops).

Good luck with finding it!
greetings, pongwiffy

Here is a link that might be useful: the real rose of Jericho

Mariposa - I know it as the 'resurrection' plant, and the fascination with it predates walled cities. they're common curiosities today- readily available from online sources, sometimes as impulse items at florists.

Max - Jesus was a biblical student almost from the time he could walk, and a brilliant orator whose words ring with truth across two thousand years, and five rewrites by lesser men...

it would behoove his flock to aspire to the same standards, would it not?
