- Rose of Jericho, resurrection plant.
Filmed by Neil Bromhall for www.rightplants4me.co.uk
The Rose of Jericho is a tumble weed and can be blown over the desert for up to 10 years. This will spread the seeds over a very large area.
When it rains the branches take in water and open. The dead plant seems to be resurrected. The seeds are dispersed by the rain hitting the specially shaped seed pods.
Seeds germinate within a few days. The seeds that fall on poor soil the seedlings will wither and die.
Seeds falling on good soil the seedlings will thrive.
The flowers are pollinated by insects.
Eventually the plant will die and the branches will fold in to form a ball. The winds then blow the tumble weed for miles over the desert until the next heavy rain and the process is repeated.
I originally filmed this sequence for the BBC 'Africa' series. I filmed much of the work again and incorporated unused sections by the BBC.
The time lapse was filmed in my studio in Oxford.

I've owned 1 of this plants since i was 15 (42 now) and sometimes have kept it dry and dormant for years and still every year it rehydrates and trives for months
@K P Can you explain how to grow these so they get larger and thrive ?
@K P Thanks so much !
@K P thank you
@K P, I would like to ask you the following if you can help me.
I've got the Rose of Jericho for many years. My query is that only the first time it opened it turned green, since then whenever it opens, the leaves are brown.
What could be the reason of happening this? Thanks a lot for your help.
The plant you're talking about is called selaginella lepidophylla - the "False Rose of Jericho". The plant shown in the video is an anastatica hierochuntica - "The Real Rose of Jericho". They are completely different plants. Your plant is alive when putting it in water while the real rose of Jericho is dead when you buy it. It's literally a dead piece of wood
Absolutely lovely film.Thank you
Hand of the creator bewilders human inteligence
I know plants are alive, everyone knows plants are alive... but it seems like they are much more full of life when watched over a time lapse. Great video!!
*I remember my granny had one. She used to put this plant in a bowl with water and it opened. It is magic.* ✨
In mauritius n in some other countries women call it the flower of Virgin Mary peace be upon her .It is believed that when a awoman goes for delivery they soak tne flower in water .the time it opens means the woman delivers without problrm.well i dont believe it
It's times like this I remember how beautiful and precious life really is
❤️👍🏼✨✨
💓😚
Gg🤗
🙃🤗😘😚
Thank you.this increased my faith in my "Resurrected Savior". hallelujah.
Amen brother:)
Did Jesus dry up and then resurrect to spread his seed. I don't remember that part😄
@Genevieve Coster my bad man, didn't mean to offend 🖐️
Amazing! Not only the video itself but your work and passion.
Many thanks for sharing and all the best!
What a beautiful cycle of life - really shows how plants are ALIVE
That's some skillz with the camera there. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Oh my goodness!!! It looked like the Mother plant was breathing and the baby danced!!!
Neil this is a Masterpiece, thanks for doing this and sharing.
Hi OddScience. I use a combination. Sometimes I move the camera and other times I move the subject and lights. I've seen other moving time lapses on UA-cam and some of the outdoor sequences are spectacular. Best wishes
Neil
Thanx for video bro Neil, excellent time-lapse cinematography. It's a lot educational.
Thank you. I'm glad you like the time lapses. Best wishes

Neil Bromhall quien entiende lo que dice soy argentina
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Neil. Thank you. Yours is the best video on the Internet about this beautiful plant not only for your filming skills but also because it shows the plant on an almost natural setting as opposed to people teaching to put the plant in a bowl of water and leave it there.
I wanted to know if you could share what was the substrate made of as I would like to try to replicate your luck with the seedlings but I must make a note that those baby plants are not the same species as this fern cannot produce flowers but spores.
Thank you and God bless you. 🙏❤️🙏
Ways of nature never fail to surprise...
Amazing work Neil.
*This video is a masterpiece.* 🌟👍🏼✨✨
*Thanks for share it.* ❤️❤️‼️
Dunno why this was in my recommended but it's neat
This is the Rooooseee of Jerichooooo! Watch it grow, maaaaaan!
Thank you. Best wishes
Neil
I am fascinated by time lapse photography. The first I recall seeing was many years ago and shown by Disney Studios.
THE MOST HI YAH. IS THE GREAT CREATOR OF ALL THINGS MAGNIFICENT.
my friend just got one and I am excited to get one of my own. Beautiful, thanks for the great share
Reposantes , sublimes et fascinantes ces belles captures .
Beautiful video. Thanks for posting
Thank you very much Neil! Happy weekend!
Nature is amazing. At the end it looked like they were breathing lol
Your videos always make me gasp
woow I love the passion for nature when you were taking this video,i love it!!!thank you for sharing...
Such great videography.. Keep it up awesome work.. 👍
How can I put this...... visually AMAZING!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!👊👍
That....was....beautiful!!!
Jaw dropping. Love it.
Hi Dreamwisper, Due to the long period of time for the plants to grow I use AC adapters to power my cameras. Best wishes
neil
Loved this and the series. Thanks so much!
I finally know the name of the plant that I have had for about five years now thanks to you. I had bought this little plant at steins years ago back when I was in middle school, so I threw out the box without thinking, never finding the name of it. Now though, I finally know what my little guy is called and the relief you have just given me, you have no idea. I'm pretty sure they had just advertised it as a mini tumble weed that needed water now and again, but I still wanted to know it's name since i've had this little guy for so long, and the wonder increased more and more thanks to my horticulture class I am taking this semester. Thank you so much! :)
Beautiful 😍
A miracle in this world, the new young plants, unbelievable.....
It's all about the water. Respect water
I regret that I have only one thumbs-up to give.
very nice
Truly amazing. Life travels, as does love; these plants love life
Amazing video! Very impressive
Hi Ulf. Thank you. I'm glad you like it. Best wishes Neil
Great music and amazing footage. I love it!
You have a wonderful channel with excellent videos! BRAVO!
Thanks Blackwish92. Glad you liked it. Best wishes
Neil
Thank you. I'm glad you like it. I find time lapse of plants fascinating and it's very rewarding when other do too. Best wishes
Neil
That's amazing, it must have taken months of work
Amazing! Thank you very much! We forward it to our friends!
Hi, was it in controlled environment or in an open desert? If it was in desert, why the light not moving, or did you filmed only in night. Could you do some behind the scenes pictures/video?
Hi Saqib, I filmed the sequence in my studio under controlled conditions. I built the set to look like a desert. The sand was brought back from the desert to match the previous filming.
Best wishes Neil
I see these in spice souk here in dubai n always wondered what these r...n now I know thanks again
Thank you very much for this video.
I'm glad you like it. Best wishes Neil
C'est incroyable !
beautiful
I love your work, it amazes me everytime.
Very cool!
leaves look so different, doesn't look like to be the same type of plant!
The one in the video is the original, anything else it's fake
because the first one already die and dried out...however it still contain the seed of the plant which can germinate when the condition is suitable
They are not. Ferns produce spores instead of flowers. Flowers (and the need for polinization) are ages more advanced mechanism than the old Jurassic spores one.
Still, the best video on the net.
That Camera Skills is awesomw!
Are you rotating the stage there or a boom with camera and lights? I'd like to get some movement into my stuff and wondering about the best approach.
Me encanta, quiero ver más videos asi
This is one of the coolest videos have ever seen of anything ever. How many rose of Jericho do you think a person should have to try to get seedlings? I figure in good weather I could water them and let them sit on a nice bed of potting soil and let the insects visit them. Do you think it would work?
Beautiful nature
Time lapse tells us so much
Nice fast forward.
Well done
@ HomoBotanicus Surely the plant shown is Anastatica heirucuntica which is a flowering plant and from Africa, unlike the spikemoss Selaginella lepidophylla which looks completely different and is not from Africa. I would have expected a botanist to know this.
Incidentally Neil, very interesting video. Thank you for sharing.
Fred Green en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_of_Jericho Apperently rose of jericho can be used as a name for both plants.
Sorry if wikipedia isn'st sufficent.
gulgaffel Yes I am aware that the term Rose of Jericho is used for both plants. I am also aware which one is shown in the video and I don't claim to be a botanist as HomoBotanicus does.
Subhanallah... ( maryam flower/rumput fatimah) 😍
God is amazing. Jesus is the resurrection plant.
Awesome.
Who else went "aww" at 1:44?
Hope this uploads this time! Anyway-Thanks. I'm so glad I subscribed. UA-cam shows me you've a new upload, when I drop in And watching yours I an put back in the wonder again, -and I'm removed from my intellectual thinking again. Reminded that I don't know s...t, and in see again.Thanks
good work buddy
Check out "Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't". See plant life from a self taught botanist.
Incredible! Really good work! What camera did you use? Thanks for your videos!
Propiedades curativas de esta planta.
The ideas of yours, on what to film are simply superb sir.. and obviously the videos are too good too...
La natura è un opera d'arte
That was awesome.But I'm curious on how do you power the camera for such a long period of time to film the seeds and seedlings growing.
I don't get it. It disperses it's seeds and a different plants start growing around it?
This must be anastaticas right, since selaginella lepidophylla (that go under the same 'popular name') is a moss/fern, which mean it doesn't flower?
Yes, That is correct. This is not a fern. Best wishes
Neil
Astonishing
Didn't know this plant existed.
I'm using Nikon cameras. I happen to use Nikon as I've built up a large range of lenses for my wildlife filming. I'm sure you can use any 35mm camera. Best wishes
Neil
Bruh could you not reply to comments 6 years ago did that not exist
Breath taking photography.. You are an artist.. is what looks like a breathing motion 'days'..?
Hi Paul, Well thank you very much for your kind complement. I'm glad you like it. Best wishes Neil
Very cool Neil, beautiful photography. Paul was asking what made the plant look like it was “breathing”? He said the motion was due to the ‘days’? Yes I believe it was the time lapse and the movement was the plant opening for the sun? Is that correct?
Good work
I am confused why there is no night time?
Probably they used artificial lightning
Je viens d en acheter une c'est une curiosité je n'arrête de la regarder quand elle s ouvre
hi i just got one i put her in water and near a window didn't change water is yellow can you tell me how to take care of it?? thanks so much love your video...
Great
Beautiful❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I saw a sonic ad and i thought he said thonic
Me: *T H O N I C C*
Nice
The want to live is what gives importance to life
Comment faire pour l avoir merci.
Y you film tomato seedlings?
Soooooo, nice video. But whats with the ominous background music haha, strangely interessting combination with the video
Pay respects to the dead seedling 🌱 poor plant
Me preocupa que se está volviendo muy famosa y arrasen con ella en el desierto de Chihuahua
No hay de estas en Chihuahua vos la estas confundiendo con una nativa de Chihuahua llamada falsa rosa de Jericó pero son muy diferentes
Wow. They almost look alive.
It's a plant... it is alive
Luke Gonnella This made me laugh more than it should have.
