 Would these plants grow in dry shade - zone 9? I'm not familiar with them
 but they sound lovely.

Dry shade--yes:   But your zone is a little bit south for these plants.
M. diphylla- I would say is hardy  in zones 4-7 maybe 8
M. canadense - 4-7
and Caulophyllum thalictroides  3-8.
all these plants have done well for me in dry shade.  My wood land wild
flowers garden has gone to "pots" as they say over the last 5 years.  Last
year only had 6 laddy slippers bloom while 10 years ago had over 80 blooms
with 10 of those being two flowers per stem.  the blue cohosh has done very
well self seeding it's self- they are very long lived plants.
