Socotra, Home of Weird Flora

Sorry about the missing links. Hope this fixes the problem

Here are 2 links that show some truly weird looking plants. These links will lead you to a place to see what I mean and find out more. When I first saw these pictures, I thought they were photoshoped, but they are apparently real. At least the New York Times Travel section thinks so.

  1. rosses between The dragon’s blood trees look like crosses between mushrooms and sea coral. the wall city is amost as weird as the plant life.

    It is amazing to see how our world might have evolved. it is like looking into an alternate reality.

    Thnaks for the links.
