That being said. I hate to be a big downer with all my hype about my "garden" and all....but. I hit a little snaffoo which I would like to call the death of my flowers. I do have a fabulous rock garden, though. FABulous. I found one of those shiny sparkly rocks that looks like its got flecks of gold embedded in it. So I searched *demolished* some of the back yard digging up several others.
They look amazing in the sun and I've been known to go outside and just stare at them. My neighbor, Roger, teases me and says "They haven't grown any, Becky!" every time he catches me out there admiring my rocks. And I have good reason.
I wish I had the photo skills of someone more experienced, because this picture does not due my rocks justice. Trust me. They sparkle like gold. And they are all slightly different shades of red, pink, gold, or green.That sad wimpy leaf on the right lower corner is a canna that I transplanted from a neighbors garden. Obviously, it misses home. And the cleared section of mulch is where the callas will hopefully make an appearance.....some day. The vincas off in the front are my next victims.

Hey, I kill SILK plants so I hear ya! You have what the British call a "rockery" and there are tomes written about how do do one's own rockery. We bought our vacation house lot due to the retaining wall of stone (another form of rockery) which I found a most desirable fixture of the "back garden". :) So see, you're a trend setter and didn't even know it!
So next time your neighbor comes by, before he can open his mouth, say, "Oh hi! I'm just enjoying my rockery! Cheerio!" and go inside.
That'll teach him.
lol I love the rocks. They are great. I can't get over the fact that you dug all of those up from your backyard. You must have gotten a good workout!
I love them!
It has nothing to do with experience and everything to do with the camera. I don't care what anyone says...
