I have been enjoying your discussion on Rock Gardens. I have two of them, well mine are more of a rock pile than a rock garden. Mine have huge boulders in them. They both started out by our getting some very large rocks from the neighbors property with the idea of using them in a future pond project. At this point I am not sure they will ever be used that way but we are enjoying them just piled up at the edges of our property. One is in the back yard near a small pond and bird bath. I have found it is a great spot to put some of my tropical plants for the summer. Some are planted in the ground others just sit in their pots well disguised by the rocks. I don't want to plant too many perennials in there as the possibility of moving the rocks at some point is still viable. I do have a couple of peony bushes planted towards the front and a lot of self seeding Perilla. Then I put in a White Bird of Paradise, large Schefflera and Dracaena and plant several Castor Beans.
