Rock Flowers

“Rock Flowers” can refer to a couple of different things, depending on the context:

  1. Botanical Context:
    • Rock Flowers (Flowers in a Rock Garden): These are flowers that are commonly cultivated in rock gardens, a type of garden where rocks are arranged with various plants that are suitable for growing in rocky, well-drained soil. Species such as sedums, saxifrages, and rock cress are popular choices.

    • Lithops (Living Stones): These are often referred to as “rock flowers” because they resemble small stones or pebbles. Lithops are succulent plants from the Aizoaceae family, native to southern Africa, and they have evolved to blend into their surroundings as a form of camouflage.

  2. Cultural Context:
    • Rock Flowers (Music and Toys): In the 1970s, Rock Flowers was a brand of dolls and accompanying records created by Mattel. The dolls came with small vinyl records featuring songs by a girl-group also named Rock Flowers. These dolls and records were marketed to pre-teen and teen girls.
