I am really enjoying seeing what it looks like now. The rock/crevice gardens are spectacular. I saw the LaBrea Tar Pits in 1971 but can't really remember what that experience was like. I was out of college so you would think I paid attention as it was a must see for my traveling friend and me. . .Linda Brazillhttp://eachlittleworld.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-5236913363339481312020-01-23T15:51:19.550-08:002020-01-23T15:51:19.550-08:00Rocks are one thing New England has LOTS of!

I found a similar saxifrage last year that bloomed its head off for more than a month. I'm hoping it makes it through the winter, fingers crossed.Eliza Watershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06879335295393594236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-83723443867567892092020-01-23T12:25:09.825-08:002020-01-23T12:25:09.825-08:00I love Rocks and crevice gardens too but like ever...I love Rocks and crevice gardens too but like everything else, balance is the key. 'Can't See the Forrest for the Trees' is an expression that comes to mind occasionally. Some crevice gardens done so well it looks like mother nature made it. A touch of pink in the saxifrage blooms is awesome. Mine are white only.chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-31951776539850597882020-01-23T11:49:37.775-08:002020-01-23T11:49:37.775-08:00I'm glad you had an opportunity to come back a...I'm glad you had an opportunity to come back and make another round of the garden after the Fling stop. This post is a good reminder that I still have a healthy number of rocks I can use on my back slope to get creative - the only impediment being the problem of hauling them down there.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-72721756741618031602020-01-23T09:17:15.113-08:002020-01-23T09:17:15.113-08:00Must admit I am less of a fan of crevice gardens t...Must admit I am less of a fan of crevice gardens than a regular rock garden. Must be the linearity of the rocks I find kind of artificial. I like the haphazard array of rounded rocks with plants more and a little bit of crevice like your one photo showed.luv2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883799040439283011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-91452994042015066252020-01-23T08:42:25.823-08:002020-01-23T08:42:25.823-08:00I was definitely one of those who had had enough o...I was definitely one of those who had had enough of rocks by the end of it. All the gardens started to look alike to me eventually, and it's hard now to differentiate them from each other, which may also be a factor of how many there were each day. I do love your shots of plants growing in very little soil on top of big rocks and in their crevices. I have a handful of rocks like that with sedums growing on them, I think of them as a variation on a fern table, but sunny and dry.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
