The Mysterious Phoenix Rose
The rare and beautiful Orothamnus is known as both the Marsh Rose and the Phoenix Rose. Commonly referred to as the Marsh Rose it is rare and grows only in peaty marshes. It is called the Phoenix Rose due to its unique lifecycle. While the plants themselves live on average only about 15 years, the seed can remain underground for over 35 years waiting for a rare summer fire in order to germinate.
The Phoenix Rose was discovered first by Jean Villet the twice great grandson of Pirate Thomas Tew.
