| I had to put my dog (Lizzie) to sleep on Wed. and her burial spot is in a wooded area in our back yard. It doesn't get much sun at all. I was wondering what kind of white flowers and dark to light yellow flowers (from bulbs) would work in a place like that? Thanks LG |

| I'm so sorry to hear about Lizzie's passing. There are some native bulbs that might work well. Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)is one such bulb. Trilliums like those conditions too. Dicentra eximia (Wild Bleeding Heart) is particularly appropriate for such a spot. While the flowers don't last long, the foliage will be around for several months. Ferns would be a nice addition and would last longer - after the flowers are gone. Where abouts are you located in zone 6? |

| Sorry for your loss. Its hard to loose the furry members of our families. I agree with esh ga's suggestions and I have a couple more dicentra cullcaria, and anemone canadensis makes a nice ground cover with little white flowers. I have marked the spot of our pet, with a St. Francis Statue that holds a dish for bird seed. Its surrounded with flowers also. |

| I am sorry for your loss. How about Epimediums? Not technically bulbs but they would work. Q |

| I like Esh and Joe's suggestions. Dutchmen's breaches might also work. I still think about my old dog who died just about the time that the Berlin Wall was torn down and, thus, lessened some of the joy I felt about that historical occassion. |
