Yemen Socotra Island

First of all, I gotta tell you, this island is really unique...I was surprised at the first sight and now I admire this island a lot. Let me share a bit fact about this island..Socotra is a
small Yemeni archipelago of four islands and islets in the Indian Ocean off the coast of the Horn of Africa, about 350 kilometers south of the Arabian peninsula. The island is an absolutely imaginary place with 700 extremely rare species of flora and fauna, found nowhere else on Earth. Socotra is home to more than 800 species of plants, some 240 of which are endemic to the island, and there are certainly many more plant species that have yet to be discovered. The climate is harsh, hot and dry, and yet - the most amazing plant life thrives there.A Dragon’s Blood Tree is seen in front of the Skund mountains on the island of Socotra, Yemen. The tree is so named because any injury to the bark results in a deep red liquid excreting from the scar – compared in the past to the "Blood of Dragons".The branches spread out into the sky and from below appear to hover over the landscape like so many flying saucers... and from above they have a distinct mushroom look.(so cute so unique..hahaha).I like it..
There is also the Desert Rose (adenium obesium) which looks like nothing so much as a blooming elephant leg.
A Socotran Fig Tree (Dorstenia gigas) with a bizare swollen trunk that almost has human proportions grows against a limestone rock face on the island of Socotra. The plants are one of over 300 plant species endemic to the island.
You won't regret having a weird travel to this place...!!!
