A rock I found close to 30 years ago. My brother and I found 2 very similar rounded black stones with brown speckles. Been sitting on my benches for years. Planting is Ajuga and Jasmine with a piece of cat skull that has been decomposing at the end of my running route since last December. Finally broke down and grabbed a souvenir last month and incorporated it into an accent. Will look better as everything fills in.

Sedum is gluacophyllum

Rock shitakusa and other accents .. all native ferns, flowers, grasses, sedum , and carnivore plants. The shitakusa would be something I pair with a pine or conifer as understory.
Woodland phlox, ladyfern , foam flower , sedum. Too left
Too right woodland phlox , I wanna say interrupted fern and spleenwort , and a sedum terabtum
