Diane Whitehead reported the (re)emergence of an Arisaema after clearing bamboo grove with heavy equipment. I saw the same thing happen here with native Trillium ovatum and Anemone deltoidea after I had a road cleared into the woods so I could drive my truck in to get rocks for the rock garden. Some friends cleared a slope at their new home of a heavy cover of ivy and were pleased to have scores of trilliums come up the next year. Many plants, including geophytes in particular, seem to wait for open conditions to emerge. The opening can be caused by landscaping as in these cases, by logging (horrors! but you should see Lilium columbianum in a clear-cut), or by fire. People often ask me whether the bulbs I sell should be planted in shade, because they are described in the literature as growing in woodland or scrub. I grow almost all of them in full sun, but I admit that there is less sun here during their growing season than they might get elsewhere. I like to use the term "shade-tolerant" rather than "shade-loving" for most plants, though of course there are some that definitely can't stand full sun, except perhaps at high elevations.
