Sally, I would take an assortment, too.

I went by the William Paca Gardens annual Mothers Day plant sale yesterday and picked up some Bloodroot, Allegheny Spurge, and two PawPaw trees!

Saw this 'colonial' front yard near there filled completely with about twenty different Hostas that make a pattern . Sorry you can't see it very well from the pic. Last year the clumps were all just touching. Not sure how one plans such a display or gets so lucky with whimsy. Other such postage stamp shady front yards featured astilbe flanking a big hydrangea on one side and astilbe with blooming bearded iris stems showy above it. And almost every colonial house door along King George and Prince George Streets was adorned with a May Day basket, an Annapolis tradition.
