I was just thinking about ocotillo out in the desert

 

When there is no rain, the ocotillo drop all their leaves, to prevent water loss, and end up dry sticks.  They look dead

 

After a rain, new leaves sprout.

 

They can go through this cycle several times a year.

 

We saw very happy ocotillo this last trip.

 

And when they get really excited.

 

They flower.
