Resurrection

 Have you heard of Resurrection Ferns? We had them in SC and we have plenty here as well. They are epiphytic plants that grown on trees and rocks. In periods of drought the ferns whither and dry, looking as if they are on their last legs. 

These are some resurrection ferns growing on an oak on our front yard. 

Three days later, after two rainstorms, this is the same tree

with the ferns looking totally resurrected!

I have seen a few signs of some of our other garden plants coming back from the roots. I'm sure I'll see more as spring advances. 

Lantana

I can't remember what this plant was!
