Birder, also my goal this year. I had one of those accidental beds :o)

Two columbine that return true to color are Red Hobbit - Aquilgia caerula. It's a gorgeous red! And Swallowtail - aquilegia x species. A long tailed yellow. I'll post a picture of both. I ordered both from High Country Gardens. Corydalis is another plant that does well in the shade, is almost the first thing to green up nad had yellow blooms all summer!

Wow, you really got the rain. We got enough, but not that much!
