Cistus x purpureus

Yes, my plants thought July was the winter too!

All my Cistus shrubs are producing more flowers, K.

It's a funny old climate ;)

It is, indeed...

is this a poppy?

No, Cistus are evergreen shrubs, Aleyna. They normally flower in the summer, and each flower lasts for only one day, but they are usually covered in flowers, so it doesn't matter. :-)

I've got some lovely big fat buds coming on some oriental poppies. They are new plants grown from plugs this year so I ought to take them off really. Its funny though - I cant quite bring myself to do it!! Lovely to get a few unexpected late flowers.

Good gracious! :-O

Keep your fingers crossed the frost doesn't get all our flowers first! The weather is lovely for this time of year....enjoy!

Indeedy, Poppy! ;-)

They remind me of crumpled tissue lol!

I made it myself really, Tet. lol.

lol!

;-D
