I should like to thank genebush publicly for introducing me to the marvelous shadeplants--the monkshoods==Aconitum ssp. and vars. I have a pic of one I took in my garden this afternoon. I'll send jpeg. to any who are interested. It is exciting for me to "discover" great genera in addition to and instead of hostas (of which I am becoming less and less fascinated), that are great plants for the shade garden.
