This looks like a lamium to me, but not sure of the name. Anyone know it and what color the blooms will be?

Lamium galeobdolon.

Thanks Lori!

Lamium looks right. I think I've seen the spotting/pattern on Lamium galeobdolon 'Herman's Pride' get less defined like that in really shady conditions so that could be a possibility (but I won't swear to that memory! ) If so, then it would have yellow flowers. If it's a Lamium maculatum cultivar then it will have some shade of pink or white, but the leaf shape doesn't look quite right to me. I wouldn't bet $ on it, but I'm leaning toward Lamium galeobdolon for an ID, though.

Edit: Oops, cross-posted with Lori. I bow to her seemingly perfect plant identification skills!

Yes, you're right. It's Lamium galeobdolon 'Hermann's Pride'.

Edit: "Perfect"?!? Yikes, wouldn't that be nice (if sort of useless in the real world too)! ;-)

Maybe Lamium galeobdolon subsp. argentatum ..

I'm not totally convinced the leaf shape fits, best wait for flowers.

I'm with JRsbugs... I was leaning toward Lamium galeobdolon, but the leaf shape (specifically the serrations) just didn't seem quite right. Also, the pattern on the leaves seemed a little off.
Either way, I hope we get to see what the flowers look like when it does bloom! I've never been a fan of surprises in general, but I do love plant/flower surprises!

Umm, just pointing out that no one has suggested that it's anything BUT Lamium galeobdolon... No matter...

Growitall - Right! I was just agreeing with the last bit of JRsbugs comment... in other words.... it looks very much like L. galeobdolon, but the foliage of the plant posted appears (to me) to be slightly different...?
I didn't mean to sound dismissive at all... if anything I am highly impressed by your plant ID skills in this forum and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone on that one!

Sorry, I'm not fishing for personal accolades... Just to be understood, my only intent was to point out that 3 people commented... and were unanimous on the ID. Anyway, no worries - back to your regular programming.

Maybe Lamium maculatum? http://www.bing.com/images/sea...

What colour were the flowers on your plant? Lamium galeobdolon is an early bloomer, with yellow flowers held in the leaf axils - it's possible to miss them because of that.

Just thought I'd add links to L. galeobdolon that are in the database, there are a few with photos for comparison: http://garden.org/plants/searc...

Thanks for all the help everyone. My friend says it hasn't bloomed yet. She also said it seems more like a rounded single plant than a ground cover like the lamium photos I showed her. Told her to take a photo when it blooms. That may provide the answer.
