Euphorbia socotrana

On the highest peaks of Socotra you’ll find magnificent deciduous trees like this one. Some were finished shedding leaves whilst others were in yellows or reds like the temperate autumns.

I was definitely entering their very last moments before the season of rest, so this is perhaps more a developing fruit than that of a flower.
