Just thought you'd like to see that the Pulmonaria you sent me has survived the winter and is now in flower.   ;D  G x

Yes it is.  The flowers start out that deep pink then turn deep lilac as they age.  There are 3 other flower stalks developing.   ;D

You can see why their common name is Soldiers&Sailors after the colour of their coats?..I've great carpets of them now, so much prefer the variegated leaf to the plain one. Pleased that a couple of the plants survived Lorna - they'll start spreading this year. Sadly Rosebud's didn't survive the journey, but hey ho! will be sending some more to her in a while :)

Lovely Georgie.  I have just acquired a cerise pink one from a garden I tend, and in another garden I visit they have a navy blue one so of course I shall be keeping my eyes peeled for seedlings.  ::)

Ooh, navy blue sounds fab.  Hope you get lucky with the seedlings.   ;D
