Shown are some pink and (what I think of as) orange sherbet colored lilies that it seems like all the scales in 3 bulbs for each color came up, and some new (last year they didn't bloom) daylilies "Night Beacon" which had a lot more red on the petals and much less of the yellow throat on the packaging than in my picture...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I had some hostas, until I realized they don’t like full sun and cooked them. And then the next year they didn’t come back, I figured they were dead from the heat stress, winter, or the mulch was too hard packed.
So colour me surprised when two came back! And now they are nicely shaded by the trees that was the plan when we planted them years ago. The trees were just too small haha.
It's great that you got to keep the original plan, once the trees got a little bigger!
But it's really quite amazing how well hostas do, when given shade. We have so many (in the back) that aren't even the same as any of the other hostas in our back yard!
We had a similar (but reversed) situation - had a giant oak in the front yard when we bought the house. We put hostas in the shade - our front yard was full shade, so they did really well.
A couple of years later, our oak got sick and full shade turned into part shade. Then we had to take it down, so the already stressed and crispy hostas - which had already stopped doing well - seem to be barely present in the front.
We don't have as many hostas in the front anymore.
