Trillium
When we moved to our house here in Northeast Indiana, there was this lovely bed of lilies of the valley. In the center was a vast clump of trillium and after living here 37 years, the lilies have indeed choked out the large trillium group, but bravely sends out other plants dotted here and there throughout the lilies of the valley. This same "wildflower" garden has grown itself some bloodroot, shooting stars, wild stonecrop, violets of varying colors, and stars of Bethlehem. I pretty much let things go their own way, and I love the resulting surprises!
