Bonitin: You've given me some good ideas. The trees are a mix of deciduous oaks and gum, along with tall pine trees. Half shade in spring & dappled in summer.
I just planted some Ger. Macrorrhizum, Saponaria Ocymoides, Veronica Crater Lake blue, Anem. Multlifida and they all look as if they're planning to bloom. I started some Anem. Nemerosa which are almost big enough to put out. I also had some narcissus in there which did well but I needed to have about 3 times as many as I planted, and iris cristata, which are up but not bloomin' yet.

It's a trial and error thing for me in there. Very dry. Lots of competition from ivy in some areas, less in others.
NOW I'm going to look up the others your suggested. :)
