Colocynths in Sahara, a photo from Adrar, Inland

Photographer's Note

"Field" of colocynth (also named bitter apple, Colocynthis vulgaris being its scientific name), the fruit of this plant is not eatable (except maybe by animals).

We had already seen some during our trek but not in such a great quantity.

Salut Emma
C'est extrémement interressant et ça resemble fort aux melons de Sosussvlei, quand le vent permet de les voir...
