Plants from Central Asia
« on: December 01, 2007, 07:17:31 PM »
I was in Central Asia 2002-03 by bike and took lots of pictures of plants and flowers. I will show some of them here in this topic...


The way I took from West to East over the area.

Some early springflowers from Kyrgystan in March 2003


Tulipa sp


Corydalis sp.

Some springflower from Uzbekistan

Iris

My plans for 2008 is to go back to Central Asia again by bike so I will show some more picture later.

Yes please.  Do show us some more.  A place I would love to see but am never likely to get to.

I agree with Susan. It's like we are travelling with you Stellan - hitching a ride on your bicycle. Thank you for allowing us to see the plants in these magical faraway places.

Will you put information about the cycling on another website?

My husband would be very interested in that information.
