On the other side of the andromeda, I've begun adding a semicircle of smaller hostas, which will spread around in front of the adjacent evergreen shrub, and serve as a backdrop for a bed of impatiens, as I planted this year. Behind these first hostas, (between the "feet" of the two bushes) I've also transplanted some ferns from the back garden, at this time of year a bit battered and hard to see in this photo.
Of course the best part is imagining what it will look like next year...and five years from now. This is the time of year to be re-imagining, to be directing next summer's stage show. There's lots of transplanting and re-arranging I'll be hoping to do in the next couple of days, as we are forecast to be receiving the (hopefully faded) remnants of Hurricane Ophelia...and a good soaking rain will be just the follow-up to a change in location.
