i just read that Shoe wants to painted green with envy over all the shade plants so to accommodate him
i live amongst the Redwoods and do NOT have too many places for sunny requirement plants
hence my addiction to the shade plants and one of my top favorites has to be the different Japanese Maples that do well here
but my very favorite shade plant is the Podophyllum group and the showiest of them is most likely Spotty Dotty
and delavayi from which spotty dotty comes
kaleidescope is still a young plant in my garden
after the Podophyllum would be the different Farfugium
then it would be a tossup between BIG Hostas and the different Jacks (Arisaema)
and of course all of the different Ferns and the early blooming Trillium
Dick amongst the Redwoods
