The Lone Desert Rose

Everyone has seen a rose before, right? But when one desert explorer spotted this rose in the middle of the desert in Yemen, they couldn't quite believe their eyes. While we're used to seeing roses in lush gardens across the globe, there's something so haunting about seeing this singular plant in the middle of nowhere. Hopefully, it stands there like beacon of hope to all who pass this plant on their journeys.

But how does it grow in such harsh environments? It's amazing to think that something this bright and beautiful can exist amongst all of the beige sand and craggy rocks.
