I haven't added them to the database yet, but will sit down and add a bunch of photos soon.

Here's a picture of one of my older semp, sedum, penstemon. etc. beds that's around my upper little water garden. I like how the semps are filling in. I didn't realize until I took the picture how much cleanup of old dead foliage I still have to do. I'm thinking of removing the tags, burying smaller tags and making a map so the garden look neater.

I favor small, quiet tags
Rocks with the name painted on, maybe.

Can you believe it, I haven't bought a single plant yet. That may change when we get to Denver. Whistling
I have been having so much fun photographing plants I've never seen before, and some I haven't seen since I was a child.

Are you driving or flying all over?
Wish you had enough time to visit our gardens. Maybe you could visit Sandi since she's not too far from the botanic gardens?

We'll have to arrange a meet-up spot and time. It would be so much fun to meet each other.
Sandy and Tabby, do you think that would be do-able? Hurray!

Sandi and I plant on meeting up with you at Denver Botanic Gardens for the Rock Garden sale and hopefully Audrie too.

The sale for non-members is Saturday, April 28th 9:00am - 5:00pm. I need to be back in Arvada around 6:00 than evening which means leaving DBG at 5:00 at the very very latest, but am available the rest of the day.

Yeah Stush, on both topics. The garden trip sounds wonderful.
I just saw your semps on another thread, they are awesome.

Critter, I have to agree with you about the camera. Thumbs up

Tabby, where should we all meet up and what time? How will we recognize each other? I am so looking forward to that day. : )

You should all make straw hats with living semps on them, sort of like green roofs. If you start now, there is time for them to settle in. Unless you have large heads, I would suggest using some of the smaller semps like the barbulatums or smaller arach's. Rolling on the floor laughing

OMG what an idea about the hats!
I could wear one when I flea market plants, as an attention grabber....

Seriously, I thought it was a good idea when I wrote it. Maybe a new market is opening?? I'm thinking a broad rimmed straw hat...
