Talk:Cistus ladanifer

I think this image is not Cistus ladanifer. It is - may be - Cistus laurifolius. --Gnomon Kelemen 09:19, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Is this really an ornamental plant? It is just about the ugliest plant you can find, except the one week during which it flowers a year.--Burgas00 17:12, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

The basic ladanifer is indeed a bit gawky. However, the sulcatus variety (the cistus formerly known as C.palhinhae) is very attractive, compact and quite frost-resistant (here in England anyway) and the appearance of the spectacular flowers (albeit briefly as you say) is the icing on the cake.

Please not the uses in perfumery, just the medicinal ones. thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.105.74.232 (talk) 23:12, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
