I was surprised to see this single flower on my cistus this afternoon. I pruned the old growth the other day and didn’t notice any buds. I’m not complaining though💗 #cistus-silverpink

Pretty

The flowers are like tissue paper and only last a day 🌸 @charlotte

Gorgeous💕

Oh . That's sad.

Not sad really, when it’s in full swing it’s covered in flowers 🌸 @charlotte

Thanks Elise 🌸 @Auricula

Morning everyone, have a good day. This cistus us is still throwing out the odd flower or two 💕 #cistus-silverpink #rock-rose-silver-pink

Morning Jane 😃 💖💖💖

Morning Ange 💗 @anges

Morning Jane 🙋 mine failed this year 😞

The petals on that look just like tissue paper, its a wonder they survive.

Morning Jeremy, that's a shame but a very good excuse for a shopping trip 😀 @jpea

They do don't they, each flower only lasts a day 🌸 @joannie.a

Morning Jane. Lovely colour. They’re great plants for long flowering 💕

Morning Twin @pelly this is one I don’t grow don’t know why 🤷♀️😂😘

Morning Nicola, they certainly are 💗 @jendren

Morning Suzie, I feel a GC trip coming on for you 💗😂😘 @jadojado29

Morning Jane 🌸 Beautiful

First flower this year 🌸 #cistus-silverpink

Very pretty, I love this one Jane 💕💕💕💕

Thanks, me too 🌸 @midnightgardener

Pink perfection. So dainty. Like the ruffled edges too. 💗💕🌸🌸

The flowers only last a day. Yesterday it only had one, there are five today so it’s definitely getting going 🌸 @hkyfvr

Enjoy these beauties 🌸🌸

Sugar frosted ❄️💚❄️ #cistus-silverpink

Blimey that’s a hard frost Jane!!

It was much harder than the forecast said it would be, it doesn't very often get the back garden !Ike this ❄️ @juliesgarden

Got to admit it looks pretty....❄️❄️❄️

Looks very pretty Jane 😍

Beautiful pic😯

Thanks Elaine, Sue and Kyle, this always looks good when it's frosted ❄️ @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @lilybee @cowdenkyle

Great photo Jane!💘😍

Thanks Shelley, it always looks good in a frost ❄️ @ShelleySnyder

My pleasure Jane!💘😍

Oh hello, where did you come from. I’ve never seen a white flower on this before but I like it 💗🤍💗 #cistus-silverpink

Oh they’re lovely 💗🤍💗

Thanks Kerry. This is in its fourth year now but I never expected to see a single white flower on it 💞 @kez001uk

@pelly I’ve seen some on here this year that have random white stripes. Wonder if it’s a reversion 🤔 think it makes the pink stand out even more 💓

Oooo there's a nice surprise 😊

I've just looked it up, it's a triple hybrid and one of its parents is white and from what I can understand it will readily back cross. It all a bit confusing for me 🙄 but I get the gist of it Kerry. I hope it happens again though 💞 @kez001uk

It certainly was Debra 😊 @london148

@pelly oh wow, sounds like it’ll do what it wants when it wants 🤣 be a nice surprise to see what flower combinations you end up with every year 😁

I'd love to think it will throw out the odd different one occasionally 🤔 @kez001uk

Interesting. My white one had a few flowers with thick dark streaks on them, which it's never done before. 🤔

Yes I saw that and you’re right, it’s very interesting Jeff 👍 @jeatacake

@pelly 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Looks like they’re getting a soaking Jane...it’s bloody awful here too...🌸

Oooh nice, lots of lovely buds too 💕💕

I'm sick of it, I just want to get out in the garden Elaine 😓 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Thanks Christine, I love this plant 🌸 @midnightgardener

Morning everyone 🙋♀️ at last this beauty has flowered. Have a super day 🌸 #cistus-silverpink

Morning Jane 🙋♂️ you too

Morning Jeremy, thank you @jpea 🙋♀️

Morning Jane, she's a beauty 💕💕💕

Thanks Ange, it's one of my favourite flowers 💖 @anges

I love them so much, but one puff of air and they are gone 🤣 great photo Jane x

Me too Dan but it's a shame the flowers only last a day. We have high winds forecast for later so I hope they survive 💞 @dan5584

Morning☁️ Jane, beauty flower. Love cistus. Have a fab day yourself..

Morning Elise 👋 this did last year so I took it out of the garden and put it in a pot. I can see it better now too 💞 @auricula

Morning Mark 🙋, thank you, I've been quite jealous seeing yours in flower. I'd really like another one 💞

Morning Jane ..well you know I’ll love this one 🌸🌸🌸😂👍🏻

😂😂😂 I'm full of them Elise @auricula

Morning everyone, happy #foliagefriday The cistus is budding up well now 🙋♀️💚 #cistus-silverpink

Looks awesome Jane. I have these too. Yours are a little ahead of mine. Can’t wait to see. @pelly

Morning Jane, I'll have to take some foliage shots👋👋

Thanks Phil, I absolutely adore the flowers. This was in the ground but I moved it into a planter on the patio so I’ll be able to see it better 🌸 @philstalder

Morning again Jeremy, just don’t be tripping up with all that stuff in your garden 👍 @jpea

It’s such an exciting time, I really love spring Elise 😍 @auricula

The flowers on these are gorgeous! Another one I haven't got 😀

Morning Jane..shouldn’t be long 👍🏼

It’s a real beauty, you need one in your life Ange 🌸 @anges

Morning Elaine, it was late spring last year so no, not too long to wait hopefully 🌸 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

I know 🤣💕🌸💕

Good morning Jane I’m always impatient waiting for flowers to open 🤗

Morning everyone, I haven’t been able to get in the garden for ages so it’s another flashback today. Have a fabulous Friday 💝💝#flashbackfriday #cistus #cistus-silverpink 29/11/19

Morning Twin @pelly such a delicate flower, I would be scared to breathe on it for fear of tearing it 😂 it is Gorgeous 😍. As I couldn’t sleep & have been up since 5.30 I’ve been trawling through Gt catching up with endless cups of tea ☕️😘

Morning Jane....stunning cistus 💗💛🌸💛💗

Morning Suzie, they are very beautiful flowers and they only last for a day. Sorry to hear you had a bad night, you’ll have to take it easy today @jadojado29 💗😘

Morning Elaine, they’re gorgeous aren’t they @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 💗💗

Roll on spring 💖💖💖

Ohh yes @juliesgarden 😍👍

Morning Jane nice to look back and see colours 🌸🌸🌸

It is Pauline, there’s not much left now @pauline33 😢😢

😂😂 you could be right, but I rather hope not Elise @auricula 😱

Think we’re all having withdrawal symptoms Jane @pelly

I think you're right Marilyn. I have managed an hour in the greenhouse this afternoon and feel better for it @lovemygarden65 👍😄

First few flowers out now, this is a delight 🌸🌸 #cistus #cistus-silverpink #pink 3/6/19

I'm hoping to get some cuttings later on, I'll send you some if they are successful Jason @Jasonsparkes1 👍👍

Thanks Elise, they really are @auricula 🌸🌸

Thanks Maggie, aren't they just @gardengirlla 💗💗

One of my favourites 💕

One of mine too Dave @davosteel74 👍😀

@midnightgardener there are a couple near the base of the plant that I couldn’t get in 💕💕

💕💞💕💞

@pelly My word that is gorgeous and I like it better than my white!! I hope one of my other two are anything near this colour!!😊😊💕💕💕

Lovely Jane. I have one Cistus flower open everyday but I've only seen the fallen petals so far 😆🙄

Woohoo, my first flower 💕💕

Love it 😍

Ooo love that. Looks really delicate.

Me too Elaine, the only problem is that it's at the back of the border as I allowed for it's fully grown height when I planted it, so you can't see it 😞😞 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

It's really pretty isn't it Charlotte, the flowers only last for one day @charlotte 💕💕

Oh. That's sad ☹

Story of my life....it’ll be gorgeous anyway..

That is so pretty Jane!💗💗💘😍

Not really, they have so many buds you don't realise apparently, mine is loaded @charlotte 🌸🌸

Gorgeous and it will grow Elaine @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 👍👍

So delicate Shelley @ShelleySnyder 💗💗

It looks very delicate like tissue paper!💘😍

Cataloguing 😊😊
Another one that I've not seen flowering so late but I'm not complaining 🌸 #cistus-silverpink
Beautiful colour 💗💕
It's gorgeous isn't it, thanks Carole and just like tissue paper 💞 @karolk
It’s bonkers Jane but so pretty 🌸
It is bonkers, you’re right 🤪 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom
How pretty 💚 love the color 😍
It really has been so strange this year Jane. I noticed another two flowers on my May blooming clematis Montana today!
Me too Laura, it's a pity the flowers only last a day 💗 @columbiariver
It has hasn't it and flowers on a Montana just about says it all 🤔 @italydiva
It’ll probably be in hibernation come May! 🙄😆
Nothing would surprise me Angela 🙄 @italydiva
So delicate looking but that colour packs a punch! 💖
