Texas Gardening: Inviting plants for full shade?, 1 by LouC

I've had my head in the clouds and just now thought of some plants I have that would work. The one in this picture is a Bear's Breeches. This is small as I moved it about a month after planted it somewhere else. I was told by a friend on DG that it could get as big as a VW BUG. It is now in a corner where that will be quite alright. Died down some this winter but came up green everyday it was warm. The other is the Hoja Santa. It got large and then put out more plants from the lateral roots. Already coming up by the dozens. I love it, smells like root beer. Will try to find a picture of it as well. Neither of these is winter hardy but they don't die down until the first really hard, prolonged freeze. Now it appears they will be the first things up. Only gone for less than 3 months. I also have a picture of the BB blooming at the Dallas Arboretum. My pictures are a mess. Can never find anything when I want it.
