INCREDIBLE TREES






















"THE ROOF OF ARABIA: Socotra is considered the "jewel" of biodiversity in the Arabian sea. The long geological isolation of the Socotra archipelago and its fierce heat and drought have combined to create a unique and spectacular endemic flora (which may, therefore, be vulnerable to introduced species such as goats and to climate change). Surveys have revealed that more than a third of the 800 or so plant species of Socotra are found nowhere else". This information is taken from one of thier tourist sites.
Here is a sample of the trees. I have seen these before by thier comman names of Umbrella tree, bottle tree..etc. Aren't these incredible?

Eve,

These are fantastic trees!!

I love all trees, too, as your 2 previous posters stated!

My favorite tree that grows in our area is the Live Oak- and especially when they have the Spanish Moss hanging from the limbs.

Very unusual trees! The umbrella tree almost looks like a green mushroom.

rose, in answer to your question on your blog. Here is the Cashmere Bouquet flower or shrub, really.

I don't have any trees near me that look like that. My favorite tree is the mighty oak. I love the shape, leaf, branch and the cute acorns. I planted one on our property. It's the only oak tree for about 1/4 of a mile. I'm sure that's why we don't have squirells.

Those are the most amazing trees and the trunks are something else!
