The new header contains images of Socotra Island, which has been geographically isolated from mainland Africa for 6 million years. 33% of its native species are found nowhere else on earth.
My favourite is the Dorstenia gigas, which roots directly into rock. While its upper part has pretty flowers, its lower part looks naked, bulbous and slightly obscene? More great pictures can be found here. Enjoy!
