Cistus Shrub
Cistus shrubs are always available in the nursery bargain bins and plant sale tables I visit. This white flowering Cistus used to grow on the edge of Duck Lawn near the water race flaxes.

But nothing lasts for ever. Cistus shrubs may come cheap, but they are short-lived. The ones in this photograph (there were two, side by side) lasted well over fifteen years before just becoming too woody.

Cistus and Hebe
The last pieces were finally removed a few years ago, and the spaces have been taken by some blue flowering Hebes. Let's hope they last as long!
