The 'White Butterfly' ginger does well in everything from shade, to part-shade, to full sun. It will bloom best with at least 6 hrs. of direct sun though. Canna (I only have the 'Sunset' will do well in almost any environment and blooms as well in part-shade as full sun. Bromeliads do well in part-shade and does even better with a couple of early morning or late afternoon sun. Schefflerra, narrow-leaf and fiddle leaf ficus (fiddle leaf is really tropical-looking), rubber tree, and most terrestrial orchids do well in the shade and like the bromeliads, flourish with morning and/or late afternoon sun. Of course, these are all tropical plants and won't do well with heavy frosts or freezes.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
