They are so pretty, I'm happy you started this thread Todd!
Just today I fell for them as I saw them for sale on my local flower market and bought 4 of them. They will add more interest to my shady garden at this time of the year.
I have a question about them; I figured out what growing conditions they like, but was wondering what plants they could be combined with. Do they keep their beautiful foliage all year round and if not perhaps they could be combined with perenials that are dormant or with ferns that lose their foliage in winter ?

The ones I bought came without a tag, but I think they are the C.coum and the ones with entire silver leafs belonging to the 'Pewter group'.

a couple of pics that didn't come out perfect because of the poor light conditions in the garden at the moment;
