A few more photos from our desert rose expedition. Here is the way you have to get them out of the ground. There were a whole lot of holes dug previously. You need a pick axe to actually get them out. It was way too hot a day to be doing this. We will go again when it cools off.

We saw lots of camels in the desert. They didn't seem to be wild, but rather that they were put out to pasture like cattle. This was a camel ranch. They had camels in these pens, over and above the ones out in the desert.

I just had to take a picture of this. The only green patch for miles around, seems to be a tennis court in the middle of nowhere.

This was just a small sample, but it is really a nice one and shows why they are called desert roses. The aim is to go back and find a big one of these!
