OK, you've shamed me into it.
Of course I don't usually bother posting pictures of any plant not looking it's finest.
This will be closer to a reality view of what my garden really looks like.
My poor syneilesis is being smothered by encroaching jungle and weeds.
The hosta next to it is feeling similarly neglected.
They both obviously need a little love.
So much to do .... so little time ...

Edited to add that I didn't realize there's some of your 'wood poppy' in the lower left of the picture - a good example of how it reseeds from elsewhere. I'll remove it in this setting, since it will otherwise dominate it's area.

And on the right side of the photo is another shade perennial saruma henryi.
It has nice felted big leaves which look nice all season.
Flowers are nice, but not super showy.
It also will reseed somewhat - and this is an example of one I should have pulled last year, as it is now crowding out my syneilesis.
