It's so funny how a plant in one situation is perfect and in another situation is a nightmare.
Here are another few plants from my yard yesterday.
#1 is pasque flower. Needs more sun, so not a woodland plant. Also needs good drainage.
#2 is anemonella thalictroides Cameo. It's such a little plant it can easily be overwhelmed by leaf cover.
It has to be planted near a path so you can see it - it's worth seeking out, because it's really pretty.
#3 is an example of an area of my woods which has filled in completely with volunteers.
You can see hellebore, virginia bluebells, celandine poppy (stylophorum). I didn't plant any of them.
#4 is another plant pachyphragma macrophyllla which gently reseeds itself, popping up throughout the woods.
I planted a couple of them. Now I have a dozen or more.
