Pic 1 has astilbe and ferns, and the primroses that are growing in the shade, multiplying and blooming like crazy. Also columbines that come up everywhere, even shade.
Pic 2 has mostly astilbe, plus some hostas and a brunnera. The red-leaved one in back is the pieris.
Pic 3 shows hakone grass, cimicifuga, a native vaccineum that wants sun but grows in shade, and the pieris again.
The hakone and cimicifuga are small and - just coming up. In particular, the cimicifuga gets tall.
Oh, just realized...cimicifuga is now actaea. I hate those name changes. It was hard enough the first time around. :-)
