skipinnz: not sure of the total square footage but it's pretty big.

I plan on part of it being used for a play area for the granddaughter. The other part a garden area and here is where I want some flowers/flowering plant and greens. It's very Pacific Northwestern, woodsy. I have tall trees in the yard and love the shade they bring.

Groucho: Well a couple of sugestions are Chatham Island forget me nots & Cyclamen. Both are low growing but have nice displays of flowers.
They also do well in colder climates with little sunlight.
