    One day around 32,000 years ago, an arctic ground squirrel ate parts of a plant, silene stenophylla, including its seed. The squirrel was digesting it when its life ended.
    Its body was recovered from permafrost and examined.
    Scientists germinated this plant seed.
    This silene stenophylla just bloomed.
    It is 32,000 years old.

    That's it. It was 32,000 years old - but the scientists successfully germinated it in 2012, so...

    Back to you

    A wild guess - it reminds of the time I went fossicking for thundereggs in Mount Hay Gemstone Park in Central Queensland.

    Probably a tad too colourful though.

    No - this is something both peculiar to the species and peculiar in its own right.
