Stellan,thank you again for these beautiful and interesting pictures.
There is an error in my last mail,the genus name of the Brassicacea is Matthiola and not
Mathola as I wrote,please excuse my mistake.
The purple patches look to me like Onobrychis cornuta,a Leguminosae with horrible spines
which grows over a vast region in Western Asia.We found it in higher elevations of Eastern
Turkey,even the hungry goats refused it.

Hey again...

I haven't had time to show more photos and tell the story about me and Gerry. We are ok and have left Iran for more than two months ago and are now in Kostanau in North Kazakhstan. We have been in the city more than two weeks most because I had problems with the police. I got the problems because I overstand my visa with two weeks. They didn't liked it and I have to be in the court two times and now I have only 10 more days here. If I don't leave before I'll be put in jail for 15 days and after deported for 5 years...

My plan for near future is to get a flight to Kiev/Ukraina and get me a new visa and return to Kazakhstan again. Gerry have no problems so maybe he will stay when I get me a new visa...

Here is the latest map from the trip...

If you press "Bilder 2008" you will find more photos from the trip at http://www.sandstorm.se... But I'll also show some flowers from Turkmenistan

Stellan,
Thank you for the new report. The parasit could be an Orobanche species.
Take care with your giraffe. Are you sure it will have no problems when you are away for the visa? In some regions a lot of animals were eaten, especially the exotic ones.

Maybe it's better if he go with me to Ukraina... I don't think it's Orobanche because it's to big. There is a different genera but I can't remember the name now...

Some Orobanche from Kazakhstan...
