I wanted to post a few pictures of what's going on in my woods.
Would love to see ideas of others' woodland gardens.
#1 Arisaema ringens.
#2 Hellebore Janet Starnes. For me, entirely a foliage plant. I've never seen it flower.
Gets ragged & mildewy in our humid summer, but looks nice in spring.
#3 A wild stand of hesperis matrionalis. It will take over if you're not vigilant.
But makes a nice splash of color with no work.
#4 Hakonechloa macra All Gold makes a bright splash at the edge of the woods.
#5 Melittis melissophyllum Royal Velvet Distinction
