Welwitschia is a myth of botany, being one the most unusual plants in this world. It came from a very ancient plant lineage and survived to the modern era in the barren deserts of Angola and Namibia. Throughout its long life, it only produces two thick leaves, that will grow huge and break up in straps. It is a holy grial for collectors and it makes up a beautiful show in cultivation, as its blue-green leaves will look happier than in the wild. It is a status symbol for many botanical gardens, which are proud to feature gems like Welwitschia or like the Victoria cruziana waterlily and the Amorphophallus titanum titan arum.
