The link is not available right now, so I can't see the picture, but just
from your description it sounds like a pulmonaria. There's lots of
different varieties, all of them lovely. I've never heard it called a trout
plant, but that could be a regional thing.

Here's some pictures:

but they don't really do it justice,
and here's a good article:

om...
I planted a bunch of these from a friend who called it a "trout
plant".
Don't know if it is a wildflower or cultured.
Did an exhaustive google search to no avail.
It is spring now in midstate NY, so I took my digicam outside and have
attached a pic:

It supposedly was called a trout plant because of the green leaves
speckled with white/cream spots.
It is now about six inches high and has two different colored flowers
..blue and light purple.

TIA for a link that defines this pretty perrenial.
