The power of plants
A small shrub that grows in dry and sunny conditions, Montpellier rockrose can be recognized by its evergreen leaves that contain a flammable aromatic resin. This plant species is a pyrophyte, meaning it needs fire to produce new shoots, hence its nickname of "phoenix plant" about the mythical bird that always rises from its ashes.
