Macro Flower Saturday
http://blueberrycraftandhobbytime.blogspot.com/p/join-my-photo-challenge-flowers-on.html
Grown in a bush outside the winter gardens of Auckland Domain. Sorry I don't know the name. Do you know?
I found out:
Cistus purpureus description: This semi-hardy low growing shrub is suited to sunny dry borders. Deep purple blossoms are borne through out the summer, complimenting attractive dark green foliage and spreading habit. 1.m wide x 80cm.

I don't know the name, wish I did. This is beautiful!!! I wish I could touch and smell it. It looks papery thin and so delicate!
Pretty flower, of course pink is one of my favorite.
How pretty and vibrant!
Not sure if this is the same one, but in Northern California a very similar plant grows called Rock Rose or Rose of Sharon. Beautiful!
