Bob, I opened your pictures and went "Wooooooooo"! So beautiful! What kind of ferns do you all put in your shade gardens (especially those in zone 5-ish)? I cannot find anything locally. This year I planted some things that I'll have to dig up and overwinter inside (because I like them and couldn't find anything else...). Susie, your Japanese Maple is beautiful! I'd love one, but they are waaaaay tooooo expensive here. I'm loving seeing everyone's shade gardens!
