Another flowering plant that likes shade is the Lenten Rose. (Not really roses, I don't think.) They start to bloom in the winter. Mine still have a few blooms. I got 3 itty bitty plants at a penny sale about 3 or 4 years ago. They are spilling over my pathway now. Also, they now come in some incredible colors, none of which I can afford. Sigh.
Hellebores. That's their name. But if you look up Lenten Rose in the Plant Files you'll see a couple hundred of them. Don't know what I have but the bloom is a pale green. Just nice to have a bloom in winter.
