phototropic1 is an unknown quantity at this point
Heuchera would be great. They're members of the Saxifragaceae family which comes from the Latin SAXUM "a rock" and FRAG "to break". Perfect, huh? I often see these on rock ledges in the southern appalachians. And ferns, ferns, ferns. Phlox divaricata at the wetter, base areas. Aquilegia canadensis (wild columbine), Isopyrum biternatum (false rue anemone), Polygonatum biflorum (Solomon's Seal), Smilacina racemosa (false solomon's seal), Aruncus diocius in moister areas.
Ok, I am envious of you!
