Hello all:

I am a horticulturist with the Missouri Botanical Garden in charge of two on-site conservatories. Our Temperate House plays host to a deteriorating collection of California native wildflowers, and I hope to renovate this display rather soon. The site is rather shady, with a large redwood and [I]Calycanthus occidentalis[I] growing nearby. There is a small Symphoricarpos and a handful of Aquilegia that do fairly well here; the soil stays rather dry. I was hoping that other folks in the CNPS might have some suggestions for plants I might try in this situation. If anyone does, I would love to hear what you have to say. Thanks!
