wonderful winter weeds

do any of you, in the north, take into account the appearance of your winter garden when you are doing your garden design and planning? is it a thing?  i don’t have planned gardens–my yard is too wooded and shady. but 10 years of doing STILL has given me a profound appreciation for winter stems. i love them so much i have begun calling them winter flowers because they are every bit as captivating as summer flowers in my opinion. someone tell me that northern winter garden design is a thing, it will make my day! and then tell me where the most magical winter gardens are, because i want to visit :-)

assorted winter weed stems: mullein, curly dock, milkweed, goldenrod, knapweed, hydrangea, goldenrod galls,
