I'm looking for a shrub that has flowers and likes shade / part sun. Thanks in advance!

Here is my new favorite. It is evergreen and flowers in the winter. It is a Helleborus.
Here are some pictures:

When they are not in flower the shrubs are just as lovely.
Other options: These do well in sun or part shade.

Anise!
Several varieties are available.
They do well but do not have many blossoms.
Traditional azalias are your best bet for spring color.
Stay away from encores as they like a little sun.
I like rhododendrun but they need really good soil prep.
