A delicate African water lily declared extinct in the wild has been resurrected at Britain's Royal Botanic Garden, Kew.

Horticulturalist Carlos Magdalena spent months trying to create the optimal conditions for the lily's seeds to grow and now hopes to reintroduce the plant to its native Rwandan hot springs.

"I feel really feel happy and relieved when I managed to successfully grow the plant. I realized then that it wasn't going to disappear forever," he told BBC News.

Sometimes, life shows us how joyfully mankind can interact with the Earth.  This type of action, such as the planting of seeds, shows us in our true “God-like” image of being creative caretakers or “earth-keepers”.  Bravo!
