Fact check: the woman turned 100 in 2023. The oldest rhododendron was 48, having been planted in 1975. The story is amazing on its own, no need to fabricate a more fantastic one.

Thanks, I didn’t factcheck my stolen meme! Next time
this is like one of those stories that are passed on but the details change a bit every time
In a few centuries people will speak of this thousand year old flower that can grant immortality.
Thanks.
This is my sign to plant a rhododendron
Please do some research first, depending on your location and the specific variant of rhododendron you plant you may introduce an invasive plant.
Exactly. You could end up with humans that live for 100+ years.
Wait what? Invasive? I have never seen one that just spreads like mint or buttercups
Looks like this is the move: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhododendron_catawbiense?wprov=sfti1
It adds 100 years to your life!
Omg. There are so many spiders in there.
I know! Isn’t it great ^^
My nose and throat can feel this picture.
is that an allergy?
Yes, all that pollen.
Imagine be able to live 100 years at the same place. i moved like 20 times and i’m not even 40…
Wow… Wonder what variant that is. Mine seems to never grow. Is in more than 10 years grown maybe a few centimeters.
There should be juxtaposing text that says “I want to believe”.
