Thanks for the compliments doss and rcn.

doss, your garden is very elegant. I would not have thought to use the lavender in combination with the hostas and azaleas but the softer, finer, leaves are a beautiful accent at that sunny corner . Just the right touch.

rcn,I had often thought of trying the hardy begonias but was always short of room. They look wonderful with the ferns along the woodland path. They give the scene a feeling of lush wild abandon. I do like the blue color and texture of the Juniper as a background.

I love the combination of green and white in the shade garden so I use the fall blooming Autumn Bride everywhere. Here it is with the red berrying false solomon seal Smilacina racemosa
