My big container gets solid AM sun until about 3PM.

So does everything in the bed I call my "Kitchen side" bed.
This bed gets the same Am sun--and it is full of ferns, Phlox, my Monkshood in the back,
now a couple caladiums, and has the Endless Summer Hydrangea as an anchor on the corner.

I think many "shade" plants can tolerate more sun than we think.

Wind--I LOVE the depth of color an all your photos. You must have a very good camera.

In the above set of pictures, I posted the NOID Caladium twice and called one of them Aaron.

1--Here is the Aaron Caladium in the Kitchen Side bed...

2--The small Hosta I picked up last year at HD. Pretty blooms this year.
We were debating whether it is, or is not, a "Mouse Eared Hosta'..It is planted in a bowl-planter.

3--This shows how big the "Black and Blue" Salvia grew. I had it well mulched all winter,
as Jill had told me it was a "tender perennial'...It made it OK! In the middle--my New England Aster.
Behind the Salvias are my Cardinal Flowers. One got chewed down by Rabbits. It's re-growing.
The other is OK--just not in bloom yet.
