LOL, you wish! This project just about killed me! Everything you've seen so far was planted before leaving to visit my mother on Wednesday afternoon. The rest of the plants were "placed" and we were back at it on Thursday afternoon when we returned to try to beat the rain!

In this one you can see the height of the Solomon's Seal and the arrow on the right is Fothergilla 'Blue Shadow' http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/137655/, the only other shrub along the house. If you haven't figured it out already, I'm a big fan of mixing burgundy, gold and blue foliage in the garden :) I'm not sure how many Hostas are actually planted in this area but there are a few Ferns planted among them as well. We chose a deep purple flowering Clematis, 'Warsaw Nike' http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/88945/ for contrast on this trellis.
