Dragon’s Blood or Dragon Tree! “The tree got its name from one of Hercules’ legendary adventures. As the tale goes, Hercules was tasked with bringing back three golden apples from the garden of the Hesperides, guarded by a 100-headed dragon. To get the apples, Hercules killed the dragon, spilling the creature’s blood all over the land—and everywhere the dragon’s blood touched the soil, a “dragon tree” was said to sprout. ” tonythetigersson, Tony Andrews Photography yellow mustard flowers in the background
