Plant blooms after 30,000 years in permafrost →
infoneer-pulse:
A plant that last flowered when woolly mammoths roamed the plains is back in bloom.
Biologists have resurrected a 30,000-year-old plant, cultivating it from fruit tissue recovered from frozen sediment in Siberia. The plant is by far the oldest to be brought back from the dead: the previous record holder was a sacred lotus, dating back about 1200 years.

When I woke up, I literally believed everyone I loved was dead.
