Denver Botanic Gardens, let's go! Chapter Four of Five, rocks...

Back to the DBG! Today we're in the far corner visiting the Rock Alpine Garden as well as the Cactus and Succulent House.

Rocks were a major theme in all of the gardens we visited during the Denver Fling. I thought they were wonderful but think a few other "Flingers" may have burnt out on them.

Naturally, there were a lot of crevice gardens.

But there were also lots of boulder-sized rocks. That's the Cactus and Succulent House in the distance.

Closer...

This was the only image I took inside the house. It was full of screaming children, I had to leave.

Back outside and there are...more rocks!

I think that's Yucca harrimaniae, or maybe Yucca nana, blooming to the right of the rocks.

As you've no doubt gathered from my previous posts from the Denver (+Fort Collins, +Boulder) Fling, there were also a lot of sempervivum.

All grown perfectly.

Here's a garden on top of a rock.

Those are tough plants.

Another style of crevice garden.

Acaena sp.

Oh, and there were saxifraga too...

So many rocks. I think I need more rocks...
