Bonehead gave a great starter list. Another concern might be - Do you have pets. Many plants are attractive to naive cats & dogs and can be poisonous, so add that to the fairly confusing mix of what to plant. Find a local garden center - Probably not one of the big box stores and take the photo you posted with the amount of shade you have to contend with and they can help you pick out some plants or better yet give you a list so you can keep an eye out for sales.
You have a beautiful blank canvas. I hope you enjoy painting it.
