Thank you all for visiting and your encouraging words.
@ sgolightly : the tall purple blooms are Astilbes. The following are the plants in this border which do exceptionally well in dappled shade:
Japanese anemones, astilbies, Hostas (especially the blue varieties, begonias, houttuynia chameleon, hydrangeas, fox gloves, fuchia lady boothby, and heucheras (especially the yellow leaved varieties. Most plants that are listed under ' part sun/ part shade,' will do well in such a situation as mines. BUT the key to success is lots of organic matter and water. Happy gardening to you all!

Beautiful! The sunlight you have available looks limilar to mine and I'm always looking for flowers that will bloom in some shade. What are the plants with the tall purple blooms in this photo? Are they heuchera's or asilbe?
