Re: Aconitum/Phlox(wasMatrona..)

Gene - well, if a Chicago trip is ever in your future, please let me
know!  Actually, most of my beds are in at least half-shade, and I have
a nice shade bed also against the north-facing wall of our neighbor's
house - mostly hostas, ferns, and self-seeded corydalis lutea, with
clumps of rodgersia, astilbe, hakonachloa, heuchera, Solomon's Seal
(variegated), bleeding heart (spectabilis), a big clump of kiringeshoma
palmata, & other odds & ends here & there.  Another bed that needs
revamping in a big way - I do love shade plants and love to combine all
the different shapes, sizes, textures, & colors of foliage -- the
flowers are just a plus.  I did add a few white regale lilies last fall,
and they added a pretty white note (and fragrance) amidst all the
foliage when they bloomed.  We were just in northern Indiana this
weekend visiting friends, in Shipshewana - lots of lovely gardens in
that Amish community.
