Unlikely combos...combining plants in the rock garden...

We see lots of stunning closeups and vignettes of single alpine plants: but rock gardens are as full of interesting combinations as any perennial border. Maybe we can explore a few...Although my first posting isn't plants you would ever be likely to see combined anywhere except Denver I suspect. It's like a mini United Nations: Bergeranthus jamesii from Tarkastad, East Cape next to Asperula daphneola from Turkey and Eriogonum ovalifolium from Western America: wouldn't it be nice if humans could learn to live together like that?
