Many thanks for the confirmation, Lin, and everyone else.
Just as a matter of curiosity having Googled Pulmonaria I read this is a flower/plant native to Europe and Asia (I'm British, resident in the UK) but notice the confirmations/clarifications have principally come from residents of the US of A. Am I to presume this is a 'common', or should I say well known, plant/flower in North America also nowadays? Just curious ...
I should say I don't know a great deal about plants/flowers, but I really love art (especially watercolours) and in the UK for many local artists plants/flowers are very popular subject matter - much the same as the States I presume. Consequently I occasionally buy such pictures, which I find beautiful, but have no idea exactly what the subject matter is. It's great to know precisely what a picture, you happen to appreciate, is actually of! Pulmonaria! I'll always remember that now!
It's also great to have found this forum with people so helpful. Again, many thanks for all your knowledgable assistance ...
