    Love the contrasting foliage colours Kay. The plants all look as though they were meant to be together. Well done.

    You do have an eye for color and texture. Making such a lovely spot in the shade isn't easy, but you certainly succeeded!

    Thanks Marlin. My gardens are mostly shade due to many mature trees . I love it. Doesn’t hurt that I work at a wholesale nursery I snap up the new varieties of Hosta (I’m addicted) and Heuchera as well as dragging home flats of impatiens.

    That looks really lovely. I have Heuchera but they are in full sun, maybe I should move them to a more shady spot.

    In my growing zone. Heucheras do better in shade. Some can tolerate sun, but they do not appreciate the heat we get here in summer.

    Really beautiful and seems to thought-out quite well. Chapeau.
