                Delightful kindredspirit :)
                You have given me a couple of ideas. I have some similar stone to enable me to arrange something :)

                  Here's another arrangement of rocks. I try to make them "flow": in this case, these are pyroclastic ejection rocks so I've tried to reproduce their tumbled state when they've landed. Unfortunately birds have completely removed three plants from this trough so it doesn't look great. Next winter, I may cover my troughs with chicken wire to stop blackbirds digging up everything looking for juicy treats.
