Pictured above is the Orchid Rockrose flower just awakening for the day. Each flower will flatten out, reveal its inner markings, and then fall petal by petal gracefully to the ground with the increasing heat of the afternoon. Perhaps the most beautiful of all rockroses, Orchid Rockrose spills gracefully down and out. Perfect for hillsides or large open spaces, Orchid Rockrose can layer and root along its stem and spread out indefinitely.

Above Orchid Rockrose grows next to Crimson Spot Rockrose which is quite a bit smaller and later with its bloom. The Orchid Rockrose in this picture is about five feet tall by seven feet wide.
