Last year I was in Sahara and I visit the Air Mountains in the central Sahara. It was a great trip but the flora wasn't so good. Here are some photos from the trip.

Great pictures indeed. You certainly get about Stellan. We all envy you. Fancy, all those onions in such a place!
David, I doubt if a bike would be much use in THAT landscape.

Wonderful pictures Stellan. I really like the shots of the Asclepiadaceae. ;)

Stellan,
The Asclepiadaceae in particular are fascinating. Great Stuff!!

The Echinops seed germinated very good. I donīt think itīs very hardy but I will try it outside next year.
