Sometimes we get used to our own biosphere, but there are others. I found that out on my recent trip to Tenerife. Trees and plants that I had never even dreamed existed both fascinated me and made me laugh!
Why do I Mention Dr. Seuss?
I grew up reading the Dr. Seuss children's books where strange creatures, humanoids and vegetation were illustrated. Have you read those books? Do you know about them? If you answer yes to those questions than maybe you can relate to what I saw!
Check Out Some of The Tress And Plants From my Trip!
Here Are Some More of The Strange Plants!
What About You?
- Are these plants familiar to you?
- What is the strangest plant that you've ever seen?
I hope that you enjoyed this article about the Dr. Seuss like land that I found on my trip to Tenerife.
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
I bet that Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss) must have travelled to some places with weird plants in order to get inspired ....
Yes, it would seem that he lived near a park and a zoo and his imagination ran wild with ideas from these resources.
Buongiorno! Have something for you:-)))))
It's also in Spain !
Ooooooh this is a beautiful gift for my fantasy! Thanks so much!
Happy that you like it ;-D
So much
Really weird plants in your article, I'm fascinated by the last one!
I saw some or the cactus of your pictures, I love this kind of plants!
Here some stranges that I meet in a village near mine! ;)
Like always great post!
Grande Old dog!
Cool!
Thanks a lot!🙂
These are the weirdest plants I've ever seen! The strangest i've seen is a kalanchoe species - Kalanchoe daigremontiana
Wikipedia picture:
Very intersting!
A wonderful idea for making photos. I like your imagination and your stories filled with kindness!
This was the strangest thing for me :)
Yes that is very strange and beautiful. What country is the photo taken in?
Ukraine) This is a sort of pumpkin. Thank you!
Wow! They are indeed beautiful and at the same time strange. I have never seen any of them before. Smile
You did a great job!
Thanks a lot for your visit!
Any time bro.
Wow wonderful photography my friend.and..You say right ...Actually you choice great content..Carry on your activity...
Thanks so much!
Most welcome dear....I will wait your next post...✌✌✌
Our mother nature is awesome. Look at these roots, I loved them. "Trees and loves, while they have roots will have fruits and flowers"

Intersting, thanks!
Some very unusual vegetation ! I like the one that looks like a snake tail 🐍 . One of my favorite things when traveling is seeing how different the nature is. One can spend hours watching the discovery channel but exploring yourself in real life is a lot more fun.
When I was in Guangzhou recently I saw a weird plant - but I have no clue what it's called .But I think it looks kind of Avatar like hehe
Thanks for sharing your Dr. Seuss trees with us!
My pleasure :)
Excellent post dear friend @ kus-knee I share your affirmation, for those who have seen some of their sixty books that I realized thinking about the children will find many similarities with your images, which are amazing and in some cases very funny. Congratulations on the choice of trips, it must have been a pleasant and extraordinary trip.
I am always passionate about the plants that live in other trees, here in my province of Corrientes there are many genuine forests and you can see hundreds of plants that live in the trees, unfortunately I do not have photographs, which I share what I do. example modem of the web.
thank you very much for sharing this wonderful work
I wish you a great weekend.
Wow, you see such wonderful plants where you live?
My province is a large floating island, we are surrounded by rivers, lagoons and estuaries, the environment is very humid which makes it suitable for these parasitic plants to survive in abundance in the trees.
I love that too, do you know the father of all trees? At least that is how the call it :-) the tree it self is as wide as 40 people in a circle holding hands! About one third of height you have the first break in the tree and you see there a forrest on it self ;-) I do have more pics of this beautiful tree. But this one is showing the other trees and plant living in and of the tree.
Beautiful plants and trees. I LOVE Dr.Seuss. Your post is fun and playful. However I was anticipating the 'Dr. Seuss like' rhymes to accompany the photos. Well done though. Thanks.
Yes you're right about the rhymes. I should have done it in collaboration with a great poet that I know......@enjoywithroy!
I love seeing these because it reminds me of holidays in the canaries. I had some great times in Tenerife!
Oh you were there? It was full of people from the British Isles! Great fun!
There are a lot of them. It's a very popular British destination!!! It's a great place, I wrote Lee the other ones as well, Fuerte and Lanzarote
I used to read the book to my daughter, fish 1 fish2 fish in the sea , she loved it, and they stick to you for ever!
Love your post!
Yes they do really stick with you. I went back to Canada to visit my family when my son was a toddler and came back with about 10 Dr. Seuss books. We read them so many times and created such nice memories.
It’s a instant smile on my face , wen I hear dr Seuss because we laughed a lot together with his stories
I loved Dr Seuss, especially
Horton hears a who :-)
And these trees from Africa are
really trippy! Teapot Baobab ☕
These are the strangest plants I've ever
seen!🌿
Thanks for the picture. I love those Seussish trees!
hi..This is the strangest tree that i have ever seen...It is an olive tree 2500 thousand years old..the location is Crete,Greece ...the photo i took from google.com.. because now i am not there..
In which village? is this?
It is form island Crete Greece.. i sent you this link for more info..:)))) have a nice evening..
https://www.athenswalkingtours.gr/blog/index.php/2013/01/22/the-oldest-tree-in-greece/
Yess it is where I thought it was, Kolumbari. It is a beautiful tree. I lived in Crete for 5 years in my younger naughty years. I loved it, we regularly still go on holiday. It is my second home. Thank you for sharing this link!
Cool!
Thank you.. have a nice evening
Never heard of dr.Seuss, I guess it depends on our age at that time? ;-)
Wow, his books are fabulous and still read to children to this day. Never heard of "The Cat in The Hat" or "The Grinch"?
Now I feel a bit old, my son just say; "I know The Grinch" !!
Haha sorry! Check it out you might like it!
trees and plants really fascinating. successful. I congratulate you my friend @kus-knee
Thanks a lot!
What? It seems you haven't experienced much desert scenery.
All of these trees look normal to me.
Its those 100 foot tall things that stay green all year that are really suspicious.
And those things that put out multi-colored leaves in the "fall". Maybe some day I will see this for myself.
Dr. Seuss is the most awesome of the awesome.
Real children's stories with real world meaning and application.
If you ever get to San Diego City, you can see the mall that Dr. Seuss built (Horton Plaza - he really didn't build it, but it will give you the same feelings you described above)
I like your sense of humour! I'd love to visit San Diego. Who knows, maybe some day.
Most know him, but they do not know it.
The animation " The Lorax (2012)" is based on one of his books!
It is nice to grow up, but to remain a child! Imaginary sharing!😊
Yes I think that you're right. Many don't realise that the know him!
Just watched the Grinch the other day ...twice! Yeah, I can see the relation and where you went with this. Hell, I hadn't heard of Tenerife until seeing and reading your post? Interesting and strange tree's and flora indeed. I like the last pick of that old tree trunk, very kool! I enjoyed it brother! Thanks for the show!
Glad that you had a look!
Yeah I do recognize one plant, its the blue one,.. oh no its an ELEPLANT !
But What a wonderful pictures, all special in a certain way.
It was a great trip and so different from where I live!
Haha, oh wow! Love dr Seuss - love this post!!
I'm so glad that you like those books!
I grew up on them - green eggs and ham used to my favourite. I’m reading them to my daughter now, and enjoying them even more - slowly collecting them all. So wonderfully weird.
My son loves Dr. Seuss! You’re so cool... you made a post about ‘weird’ plants very entertaining. I’m learning so much from you. Happy Friday☺️
I'm so glad that your son likes those books. Lots of fun and great for learning to read!
I have to admit that I enjoy to read as well. It’s a smart way to communicate and bring information to children... and adults!
Green Eggs and Ham, I remember that book 😀
It's quite amazing that's some of those trees do resemble some of the trees Dr Seuss books.
Have you been to the Caribbean @kus-knee?
Some of those trees resemble the Caribbean islands. A matter of fact is Tenerife not an island?
I would love to visit one Tenerife one day 😎
I've been to the caribbean quite a few times but not since I move to Europe 23 years ago!
What a cool post with funny pictures. We don’t exactly have these types of plants in Norway. But a lot of funny threes you may find. Since it is snow time here now I won’t be able to post any plant photos
But a can give a beautiful nature photo:-)
Thanks for the nice photo! I would like to visit Norway one day. It must be very majestic!
Perfect!! I love the odd trees and plants, but your addition of the Dr. Seuss characters turns your photos into art!!
Thanks so much. I'm a big fan of Dr.Seuss and and it seems to be the appropriate combination!
I miss having little kids to read those books to! Thanks for your support on my page! It will help me keep my contests going, so I'll be passing it along!!😘
AWESOME creative juices there @kus-knee! I am a HUGE fan of Dr. Seuss and what a delight it was to come across these most magnificent and strange trees. Thanks a lot for sharing, namaste :)
Glad that your a fan. He was a creative genius and his work transcends generations!
I can only agree with every single word! Namaste :)
Im glad to see Horton made an appearance!
Me too!
You really captured some interesting plants here, I have seen some of them before, but a lot of them I have never seen, nice shots.
Yes, well I live in colder climes!
Your photos are great, and the first ones are also very positive :) Thanks for doing Steem - Better. Good luck to you and Good.
Thanks for your support!
These trees are really amazing! And your funny characters add charm to them! I also dream of traveling there, my friend @kus-knee! I wish you a good day!
Thanks a lot. Have fun in the snow!
This tree I saw in the national park, which is located on the territory of Vitosha Mountain in Bulgaria. Height above sea level is 1800 m.
Have a nice day @kus-knee!
Fabulous!
Thanks
... yes, I was impressed by the tree :))
You are very good genius post you can be a good example for other steem users. thanks for sharing post ..
I do not like green eggs and ham, Sam I am... Nice pictures! It looks like Lanzarote, although it is less green there... I did not see those trees in Gran Canaria...
Wow nice photo
Hi!!! Thank you for the photos. Your photos show an extraordinary power of life. On rocks, sand, such amazing plants grow. Thanks to your photos, I kind of went to Tenerife. The most unusual tree in the third photo.
excellent your blog sir
Unique trees may elsewhere do not have them
Wow wonderful place and nice photo.
This tree is unique and rare and does not grow anywhere
how about this entry, hopefully @kus-knee its like.
I think the nature is mixed with our life, without the fact that we can not survive, it always comes to our advantage
excellent working

No idea about Dr. Seusss, but those plants are really looks weird! I will try to photo shot few of weird plants that I saw and will let you know! But I assure, I never seen this much of weird plants ever!

I would think that in Sri Lanka you'd have some unique botanical specimens.
Really those plants are very strange. I first time saw these.

Very beautiful
I love nature
