Description
These vivid rock rose flowers always seem a little wrinkled to me. But they are lovely nonetheless!
The rock rose, or cistus, is a sturdy shrub that is perfectly suited to the soil and Mediterranean climate of the central California coast. While other flowers wither in the drought, cistus varieties bloom abundantly for months.
A subtle texture and vignette was applied digitally.

Caitlyn, what a stunning portrait of a vivid rock rose blossom! It reminds me of the ones I saw today during a walk along a beach in the Bay Area. Your photo is truly exquisite, paired with the perfect title. Beautiful textures and love the selectrive clarity, emphasizing its beauty. Awesome work! F/L

Fabulous centre focus here, Caitlyn! ... I love the entire display, so lovely against the dark background. And I love the wrinkly petals .. crinkled like poppies .. so very delicate, like a papier mache... :)) {I may not have spelled that correctly ..}
Caitlyn Grasso replied:
Thanks so much, Connie! They always make me think of crumpled tissue paper. :))
