            Some of the lilies I am grown in a bit of shade are L. canadense, L. speciosum in white and red, superbum in couple of bloom forms, L pardalinum, several martagons, L. henryii. There are a couple more, but cannot remember the names just off hand. I keep finding room and adding a couple each year. Some of them will lean toward the prevailing light, but that is OK with me. I especially enjoy them coming up out of some hardy geranium.

Hi, Gene...just back so am late responding to your interesting list. I'm going to check these out but a question: as someone else posted, I mysteriously lose lilies over the winter too...do you? I'd love to hear more about lilies that do well in some shade as they're a real fave of mine. Hydrangea relatives? Love to hear more about all when you have time. Glad those of us in the upper mid-west can stop being slaves to the garden hose for awhile now. Joanie Anderson
