I definitely need more drought tolerant plants. Thanks so much for the informative links. I used to have a lot of violets but they all died. I really love the shape of the leaves and they remind me of woodlands. The flowers on the epimedium are so unique, I especially like the ones with the pink blooms. I'll have to check the local nurseries in Spring to see if they sell that. I didn't know there were double flower violets. I'll also check for hellebores this year at Lowes. Thanks again Lynn for all of those great ideas.
