Well I am working on building a pond and I was wondering what are some great shade plants.
Here are some pics of what I am going to do with the pond.

the pond is going to start out at the top of the hill around some big rocks to sit on. Then it is going to flow down like a little stream and it will run into another pond. Then it will run out of that pond and end up at the bottom of the hill. The stream right now is the path up to the top. I was thinking of puting some big rocks in the stream so you can walk on them to the top so the path will then serve 2 functions, stream and path.

I was thinking of some neat tall water grass that would do great in the shade and what ever else looked really cool.

I will get some more photos up later, since I couldn't get a good pic with flash in the dark at the very top of the pond.
