Cistus or Rock Rose
Wikipedia says “They have showy 5-petaled flowers ranging from white to purple and dark pink, in a few species with a conspicuous dark red spot at the base of each petal”
That’d be ours, then
It’s a beauty.
The petals remind me of crushed silk.
And I learned a new word today
Thermophilous.
Requiring open, sunny places.
That’s my sort of word.

>Thermophilous–that’s me! The flower is gorgeous and I agree about the petals; I would like to be able to stroke it. Is it perenial? Hope so!
>It is a beautiful flower and one I have never seen until today and when I saw your post.I hope you will be able to look at my picture of a mother robin with her head down the throat of a baby robin. This is part two of a series of four shots.
