Always on the look out for flowering plants that (more than) tolerate shade I purchased a Celandine Poppy (Stylophorum diphyllum) last July. Of course it was nondescript last summer and I had forgotten about it this spring until all of a sudden a couple of weeks ago I all of a sudden noticed the bright green foliage and the happy yellow buttercup like flowers. It is so noticeable this time of year when much of the surrounding ground is brown with leaf litter. A simple plant but it does fill the need in early May.
