For Jacque. This is what you have to look forward to.

SNAP!! I've got these, Toto. I tried to take a photo but the flowers were very wet and floppy.

They are lovely!

OOOooooooooooooooooo How Beautiful :) Thanx Toto 4 showing me this Gorgeous Pic X

Just like tissue paper Spritz.
There are other colours so yours may not be the same Jacque it should give you an idea. Mine is about 4ft high and was a cutting I was allowed to take from a neighbours plant. Sadly the neighbour died and the new people got rid of the Cistus so I'm glad I got mine when I did.

Dear GOY Member Sarah "Sid" posted mine 2 me few months back & its doing really well she grew this herself to Toto :)

I think it is, I'll check tomorrow under my umbrella. ;-)

Fancy getting rid of a lovely shrub like this!

They're not difficult Jacque or I couldn't have done it. I can see it's doing really well and you won't have too long to wait for it to start producing flowers. They seem to me to get more prolific every year.
I know Spritz, seems odd doesn't it?

Its lovely.

Thanks Clarice.

Its beautiful, the flowers look so fragile, as if a puff of wind would blow them far away!

What a sight!

Thanks all. The shrub is covered in these flowers at the moment. The flowers are about two and a half inches across.

the colurs are just great.

Thank you Nelke they do come in various colours but I think that this is probably the most common.

Looks just like crinkled tissue paper - how lovely. Never seen this before.

I think they'd be a bit fragile for your climate, Elke! The flowers only last one day each but there are so many to open that it doesn't matter!

Thanks, Spritz. Rock rose. I looked it up after your comment, and we do not exactly have a "Mediterranean' climate here for growing this... Ah well! Can't have everything!

Gorgeous!

Thank you all.
