Selecting rocks for my succulent bed

I've always wanted to plant a succulent bed in my 'cool' garden but never knew where to start. I've spent many hours searching and looking at photos of various C&S gardens but everything seemed "too distant" from what I wish to have.

So I posted a question on GW and got very simple, easy-to-do steps. I now feel full of confidence to start my project.

I must first of all get some big rocks. Where? Ah ah... I know where!

Several years ago, we had a water feature down here. It looked very pretty first done.

But we eventually could not keep the feature working well because the water we used was from the river, full of dirt and debris, so it clogged the bump frequently. Now, there's a pile of big rocks lying idle there.

My husband won't go to Tuysonvien with me until a while yet. That means I will have to hand-carry these rocks up myself.

So I went out, selected just a few mid-size rocks which I can put into my carry-on for my next trip up Tuysonvien.

I bet the coach people might swear when they lift my carry-on! It's heavy, I tell ya, but I will try to manage. It's all for my love of plants.
Stay tune for the finished project when I'm up to Tuysonvien next week. I hope it will look nice.
