OH! That is lovely, and I know I saw that at one of the nurseries around here. The name escapes me at the moment. Wish I could remember!!

I'm not familiar with it but it sure is lovely. Take a little sprig of it to your local nursery; I am sure they will know what it is.

hmmm.... i know this one too... it's growing in my Mom's yard.... such a pretty one in the spring, i know i've heard it called a few different things but it i think it's Pulmonaria officinalis...or lungwort ( whihc has been used as a medicinal plant).

hmm, sort of looks like a VA bluebell, except for the mottled foliage...

Yes, it's Lungwort, real name Pulmonaria. There are various shades of it - some more mottled, some lighter or darker shades of green.
