Gorgeous! Some of these plants and plant combinations just take my breath away. I've been away for a while, but hope to be back more often now! Always a joy to read your posts.

Located the fabulously chartreuse Aralia cordata 'Sun King' at Lost Horizons nursery just this side of Acton Ontario. They do have a website with a user friendly map. Not sure if the plant is in the catalogue yet... it was one of those pleasant surprises on the day of my visit! They close early in october, so call ahead if you're planning a trip this year! Otherwise, I am sure they will have it again next year. I am also seeking to carry it here at LittleTree Garden Market in Fergus, Ontario next Spring!
