The translation I found says this is a rock rose. Yes? How beautiful and you even caught a little visitor. Thank you for sharing!

I love the colors in this! I almost missed the little critter tucked in the petal.
Nice capture.

These are lovely flowers! This Meme is really a treat, as I get to see flowers from around the world; many, many kinds that we would never see here in the U.S. except, perhaps, in specialty greenhouses. Thanks for sharing your photo.

What a colorful flower with a great beetle capture. I like the way the beetle is covered in pollen.

Very pretty! I wondered if it was related to the poppy family when I saw it. What pretty colours and there is even a little visitor sitting there!

"Esteva" (rock rose) it's a very common bush in Portugal and in all mediteranean region. It does not need many water and grows wild in the countryside. It´s named "Cistus ladanifer" from "Cistaceae" family. It can grow from 1 to 2,5 meters. It's resin is used as fixative in the perfumary industry, to reduce the odor evaporation and to preserve the intensity of the perfume.
