ann baker

Cistus 'Ann Baker' began blooming a couple of days ago, but I missed the first day entirely. It's not that I wasn't expecting it to bloom, it's just that this Cistus blooms from about 8:30 in the morning to about 4:30 in the evening and I had to go to work. I saw the buds poking out in promise that day when I left for work, and when I got home, the first thing I did when I got home was to check on it. As you can imagine, all that greeted me was the fallen petals. Fortunately, I was able to catch the 3-inch blooms yesterday. I'm lovin' it.
