I think the opportunity to share pics would stimulte more activity on the list.
My little Iris gracilipes bloomed this year but when it got hot they passed too quickly for me to get a shot. I got this iris from Darryl Probst's Garden Vision last year. I highly recommend it. Such a small delicate-looking little thing that tripled to quadrupled in size from last year, covered in blooms. Lil, since you have a small garden now, this is something you might consider. Here's a pic - not mine - but a good representation.

If you like sedges, Carex 'Treasure Island' is small, durable, and pretty.

Well, have downsized our home and garden dramatically. Gone from about 1500 
sq. ft of garden to about 100 sq. ft. Quite a change. The upside is that
weeding will be easy! Luckily the soil here is good. About 70% is afternoon 
sun, the rest dappled morning, then light shade.
I had several favourites I brought with me, but like any good plant addict I have far too many I love so am having trouble deciding what to add. Because 
space is limited, I want special neat plants. I have brought Jack Frost
Brunnera, couple of Epimediums, few favourite hemerocallis, small Itea, some 
hostas. Have enough room to add more goodies....

What are some of your favourites? What can't you live without? (favourites
not mispelled - Canadian spelling).
