When it comes to rare and unusual plants, this one is always at the top of the list—truly one of the strangest around! Even its name is amazing. It’s the only member of its entire genus, with no close relatives—talk about a unique character. Amazingly, it has just two leaves, which it keeps growing out for thousands of years. You can’t help but wonder: why did a plant like this come to exist? And what happened to the rest of its plant family?! This mysterious and rare species is full of intriguing questions... but surprisingly, if you decide you want one, it’s actually possible to get one for yourself.

Although these plants are scattered here and there across the desert, they actually have separate male and female individuals! It’s thought that the pollen is carried by bees. The seeds are lightweight, with large wings, allowing them to travel far and help the plant expand its habitat.

the welwitschia mirabilis is one of those weird plants that i would love to own but know that i shouldn’t. it’s an ancient plant that has a lifespan of close to 2,000 years. even crazier, it evolved with the dinosaurs some 200 million years ago. https://t.co/I5J8emlTuo
