Munsinger Garden Rocks

In the area around St. Cloud there is a lot of granite and decorative rocks.  So it is only natural that Munsinger Gardens would have many of these rocks incorporated into their gardens.

The Elf's Recliner
 When I first saw the rock above I thought, "that sort of looks like a recliner."  I appreciate the thick section of the pinkish color diagonally going through the stone that within itself is a combination of greys.

Muscle Man
 Worn by weather the "Muscle Man" rock looks like a distorted man leaning against the rock in an odd pose.  The muscles in his right arm protruding large while his skinny little waste seems unnaturally thin.  His right leg up on a rock as if it is a show of strength.

Clam Shells Flintstone Style
 Weathered in a different way, many of the rocks in this collection were worn in a way that almost looks like a clam shell from The Flintstones.

Rocks to Edge the stairwell
This granite stairway was lined with a variety of rocks.  Although a very good idea the application of the idea wasn't done well.  That is on this side anyways.  There were at least three stair cases that came down this mini-mound of flowers.  It was cool to look at and a bit challenging to walk down.

Hen and Chicks hiding in the rock
This was my favorite rock.  That was because someone saw the potential and most likely added a small amount of dirt to the debris that the rock was collecting.  Then they placed a flower in it called "Hen and Chicks"  One flower is usually bigger (the hen) and the shoots it sends out throughout the season (the chicks).  To add to the classic charm, two small leaves that have dropped off a nearby tree and landed behind the hen and chicks in this rock.
