>Can I get some suggestions for shade loving, summer moisture tolerant, >and SE zone 7b hardy amaryllids? Steve; The top candidate here are Lycoris species. You can grow dozens if you can find them. Do a goggle for the Bulbmeister, Telos, Fairweathter Nursery, Plant Dleights to name a few. > For that matter irids too? > Crested iris in general -I cristata, I tectorum and possibly I japonica. La iris will tolerate some light shade, not deep shade Crocus- some species like C. banaticus love these conditions. Misc. Galanthus, Leucojum vernum, too. Under deciduous trees try Scilla, daffodils etc. Lots of choices, but depends on degreee of shade. Jim W. -- Dr. James W.
