Cistus creticus

Absolutely love this tissue paper bloom Annie.

I am a big Cistus fan Karen, love the flowers, the colours and the fact they are evergreen;o)) I have about 12 in the garden this year, 6 different types and some are young enough to be dug up to come with me

Lovely.....we don't really get the sunshine they need here, or the dry, but I did have a couple in my old garden that did very well, but they were in a raised bed on a steep slope, so that would explain that....south facing too.

It does look like paper!

They have surprised me this year Karen as they have not been bathed in sunshine and live in my horrible clay. I took this pic on the way to my car this morning in the rain.
