I thought it might be interesting to start a thread where we can share each others pictures of blooming perennials that give interest to a shady garden and now is the right time because most shadow lovers bloom in the spring before the deciduous trees get back their foliage. Of course we are all grateful to the helleborus family for its early blooming, but there are already some very great threads created for just that family, so we could now focus on others.

I'll start with one of my favorites which is Trillium sessil, the only one I have of this family, but I love its foliage as well as its intriguing original flower, it has that mysterious aura emanating from it.
