[fluffypenquin]

Hi My MIL has this plant growing in her garden, can anybody tell me what it is called please?

[johnsmeccparts]

Pulmonaria and is also known as lungwort

[fluffypenquin]

Many thanks Meccanoman xx

we call it boys and girls here as it has blue and pink flowers

[fluffypenquin]

It seems to have loads of names Ed - now that Meccanoman has given me its name, I have been looking it up on the internet and amazed at how many variations of names there are xxx

I am the queen of google search!

I had no idea what it was until I looked it up!

They seed down everywhere, I have been taking little plantlets out of my gravel path this afternoon, a friend wants some for her bank.

The only problem I have with them is when we have a wet summer the leaves go mouldy.

I bought a friend a potted plant.  She ask me what it was.  I told her it was a rubber plant.  She examined it closely.

"A rubber plant, you say?"

"Yes."  I replied

"That's incredible."

"What is?"  I asked, baffled.

"Well,"  she said, "It looks so real!"

Hiya fluffy ***waves** - yes it's lungwort (pulmonaria) - great for planting under large shrubs and trees (likes shade) and will spread rapidly.  Break up in the autumn.   Hope you are well and still 'festivaling', lol

Oh what a pretty plant, I might have to get one of those.
