Hi - Love the ones you all have already ID'd. One that I've been surprised at -- never knew -- and comes in a wide range from blues, golds, variegated, and all shades of green are hosta. I did not know they could handle so much moisture, and no drainage, until I put them in the pond to hold for a few days before I transplanted. Got busy elsewhere - you know how it goes - and found they loved just sitting in the pond - so since then I always put in a few at the edges - here's a pic of one in the stream in front of a Cardinal flower and White Flag. That area gets half-shade, and is actually sitting in the stream bed -- Dax
