BUT. . .I did discover a wonderful little place which immediately felt very special to me. This circle of trees is about 10' in diameter. The lovely moss covered trunk laying parallel to the ground was chainsawed at the distal end by DH and makes a great bench. The picture doesn't show it, but there's a really nice view of the duck pond from the circle. This is the faerie/gnome/dragon place. I want to put a hanging planter at the distal end of the trunk and a bench from which to view the pond. I want to plant "magic" plants, ones that, as the subject of the thread states, are shade loving, evergreen and with pretty flowers. But I also would LOVE for them to be unusual and interesting simply to look at. Any suggestions?
