Dragon's Blood trees on Socotra Island - Indian Ocean.

Hahaha~~~I think of broccoli, which I love BTW! Maybe they evolved to grow this way to keep the critters from browsing on them ( like broccoli, LOL ). Thanks, Robyn, and Merry Christmas............

WOW! Rob this is sooooo neat! Never seen anything like this in my life! They do remind me too of gigantic mushrooms! Their absolutely beautiful. Thanks for posting, I can't wait to google Socotra Island and see other interesting things there.

Socotra Is is a fascinating place to Google - or look up on Wikipedia. It's ancient & has lots of plants that are really strange & found nowhere else in the world.

Wow! I have never seen anything like this. Cool

I also think they look like giant mushrooms. I wonder how they got their name.

Wow, these are impressive looking trees - they remind me of large mushrooms!!! Thanks rob:)
