Cistus
ladanifer - Common gum
|
|
|
"Napolean once said he could

of the smell of these rock roses. They have sinuous roots
that penetrate deep into rock crevices looking for
moisture and humus. The gum they exude is used in
medicine". |

warming, our gardens seem to be dryer and hotter, these plants are built
to cope with such conditions and we'll look at the methods they use to do
it.
