Most of my toad lilies never see sun, at least not once the trees grow leaves! Perhaps I'll have more flowers to photograph this spring.

Some areas never see the sun at all. This pulmonaria sounds like it might be something I need to try! I want to do raised beds this year, also. I've never had them before.

I've certainly rectified that situation! ;-) However, there's so much space that it has taken a lot of planning, soil amendment, (and purchasing and seeding) to fill the spaces. I'm on "relaxed mode" going into this Spring. whew!

I'm not familiar with Opal. I'll have to look her up. ;-) I love the Virginia Bluebells, too!! Last year they were appearing in interesting places, so it'll be fun to see the developments this Spring! :-)<BR/><BR/>Karen, I'm feeling the same way, in that the first couple of years (or three) we lived here, I was creating flower beds all over the place. I'd done a fair amount of research during the winters, so I knew, pretty much, the types of plants I wanted... but I think I really took note these past couple of years... more decidedly this past Spring. (Especially since I'm getting closer to filling the beds and I can concentrate more on projects.) Blogging helps me take note of the details, because it gets me up close and documenting! A Good Thing! ;-) I just realized I responded to you in Book Format!
