We have three on our property line. They’ve grown together to form a nice hedge, which I keep trimmed. I’ve seen some, untended, grow to the size of a VW Bug — seriously. Flowers are beautiful. Highly recommended. :: David in San Diego.

Mtn Dog, I had the opportunity to visit the Portland area this past week. One of the nurseries I visited was Cistus Design & Nursery. They carry several kinds of cistus (rockrose), and do mail order. Have you found your additional rockrose? You might want to contact them. http://www.cistus.com, (tel) (503) 621-2233.

I’ve seen them in gardens here in Seattle and always wondered about the plant. Guess what will be purchased at next garden nursery visit!

I haven’t heard back from my friend yet, and don’t want to keep you hanging. My suggestion is to call Squak Mtn Nursery, and see if they can order more orchid rockrose for you. Chances are they can. If they can’t, I’d let my fingers do the walking, and call around to your favorite nurseries, and ask if they carry them, or can order them for you. If all else fails, try ordering them from the internet?

I’m not familiar with nurseries in your area. Sorry. Good luck! VintageGardenGal

I just planted some in my front yard and the first one bloomed today. They’re in a terrace facing south with all day sun and they’re in front of a Pisa Block wall. Should be plenty of heat for them. I also installed a drip irrigation system for them. I need to find some more. Any idea who might have some in the Seattle area? I got the first ones from Squak Mtn Nursery.

Thank you for a fabulous write up on the chickens. Bobby G and I are thinking about adding a chicken coop and a few “girls” to our country home. Your articles were so much fun to read and informative. ~ Lynn
