columbine 'chocalate soldiers' - brown petals with larger green bracts.
clematis 'plena'
amaranthus 'viridis' green form of love lies bleeding - looks great with burgundy one in vase
kousa dogwood -early spring flower is beautiful with a tan and white/green combo flower
snow-on-the-mountain 'silver queen' great volunteer in the garden (above left)
