Rockrose

Helianthemum georgianum
Rosewood Family - Cistaceae

The stamens on the Rockrose tend to favor one side or the other.  The blooms open in the morning and the flowers only last a few hours, the petals falling away by mid-afternoon, if not sooner.  I feel priveledged to have found this flower for two reasons: 1.  they only bloom for part of the day and 2.  the are getting to be rather rare and hard to find.  They bloom from April through May.
