Also known as the Resurrection flower or Doradilla flower, it is a desert plant growing in the Middle East and Central America. Completely dried out Jericho roses will grow if placed in water and left. When it is dry, it folds and turns grey and brittle. Yet placed in water it recovers its natural green color and unfolds to become a lovely living organism again, and it can do this over and over again. Even after 50 years without water the plant will resurrect, no wonder it's sometimes called the dinosaur plant.
