I had just about forgotten about this thread *Blush*
Hi Arturo! How are things coming along in your rock gardens? Yes, I do think you ought to post your progress in the RG forum Thumbs up but no need to move anything from this one.

As far as an update, we have another blanket of the white stuff again as of this morning, so, alas, there will be no fresh pics for a while--
The biggest take away from that whole disaster is certainly the acquisition of the animated orange accent Hilarious!

here is another bad lighting pic of them as rock ornaments in a new rocked out area that I was working on last year

anyway, what happened next? I don't remember exactly...something along the lines of ripping out a bunch of pink stuff and putting in some other stuff...
like this fiery semp and Eremurus

still need to keep working on it though--that verbena is insidious along with a running strawberry, and lotsa volunteer salvia cropping up where the shorties are supposed to bask in the sun...

I did end up killing that penstemon upon extraction and had to get another one for the hummers--I hope I made a good enough space for it in another garden by a big blue rock Smiling we shall see, so far it seems alive and well--unlike some others I planted last year (we had a brutal hot summer last year and I had some major fail, both with under-watering and over-watering and a lot of stuff didn't even make it to the snowiest winter challenge).

Everything kinda went off the rails for me last year being overly ambitions with new projects plus the unexpected--I've been away from home for the last seven months caring for my mother, who was terminally ill. Only just now back home to pick up the pieces. Can't seem to find many pics of that area from last year, but here's a few
