I have a small rock wall in my back yard and would like to put some wild looking flowers in and around it. Any ideas? I don't know much about flower names etc.

Wild climbing roses are lovely on a rock wall and do well if in the sunlight most of the day.

Several species to think about . . .
Sedum sp. several low growers
Lysmachia repens
"creeping phlox"
Dianthus 'Firewitch' and several other cultivars
Alot of herbs like that type of environment-mints especially
Look for plants that do well in hot, rocky soil, and are tough once-established, and, oh yeah . . . stay short-as to creep through the openings in the stone wall.

creeping flocks are good because they dont have a lot of roots and can cover a large area over time they spread over time, also good ones that need very little soil are chicken and hens they kind of look like a low cactus... good luck on your rock garden they are my favorite!

"Flocks", they spread well and will crawl in and out of crevices in the rock wall and will thrive in just about any soil ... I have seen them in white, pink, fuchsia
