The habitat of Adansonia grandidieri is not a real drought, it also green and damp in rainy season.

Amazing! They look like something from outer space! I love the photo, the lilac flowers at the bottom of the picture mimic the colour of the clouds. Are they in water? The trunks of the trees look like shiny copper, like a sculpture!

Yes, you should be there. It like a dream come true! I'll never forget those picturesques. The lilac flowers at the bottom is the Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) an aquatic herb growing in shallow water beside the Avenue of Baobab near Morondava town, west coast of Madagascar.

In this picture, I'm the taller guy from the left.

I would love to see them in person! Thanks for posting the pictures, Madagascar has many interesting plants. It would be a dream come true for me if I could visit, but I don't think I will be able to make it. This is a great way to see them, thank you for sharing!
