EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible resilience of a very old female Welwitschia mirabilis, also known as the Miracle Plant. Against the backdrop of the scorching Namib Desert in Swakopmund, Namibia, this ancient plant stands tall with its cones proudly on display. Named after Austrian botanist Friedrich Welwitsch who discovered it in 1859, Welwitschia mirabilis is endemic to the Kaokoveld Centre. Its population stretches from southern Angola's Bentiaba River all the way to Namibia's Kuiseb River. The miracle plant earned its name due to its ability to thrive under extreme desert conditions that would be unbearable for most other species. In this color photograph by Mitchell Krog, we are reminded of nature's tenacity and adaptability. The image captures not only the plant's unique beauty but also serves as a testament to its survival skills amidst harsh surroundings.
