    Re: Book/Website for Plant ID?

    Ok, here's a couple from my front yard, really appreciate any help! Again, it's a zone 6 climate, nearly the entire yard is shade with a bit of partial sun, and the soil doesn't drain well. In case that helps.

    The ones with red/green leaves are fairly small, maybe 5" tall and they're sprouting up on individual shoots all over. The plant in the foreground of that picture is some type of groundcover.

    The bright green fuzzy plant is about 3' across and nearly 2' tall now, it's been growing like crazy this season.

    The dull green fuzzy plant is about 8" across and 6" tall.

    The plant with little round leaves is small right now, only 6" across or so and flat to the ground, but I cut back dead creeping stems that were probably 3' long about a month ago.

    There are two plants with pink flowers on tall stalks, the smaller is about 1' across and 1.5' tall. The larget is closer to 1.5' across and 2.5' tall stalks. The larger one's leaves (which might not show up so well) look almost like geranium leaves.

    The blue flowers are on a bushy plant, probably 3' across and 1.5' tall.

    Thanks again!

    In order of appearance, #1- Houttuynia cordata 'Chameleon' (in my opinion, an invasive thug), with Pachysandra terminalis. #2- I think Coreopsis. #3- Astilbe. #4-Heuchera. #5- Centauria. #6- Euphorbia myrsinites. #7 Artemesia

    Isn't the groundcover in the first pic a Sedum rather than Pachysandra?

    Yes, it's a sedum.
