What is my name??
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: http://www.geocities.com/scorman/pic...ers/sm0381.jpg 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. Stew Corman from sunny Endicott |

You got it in one, Sue, and without benefit of the photo. It is indeed
Pulmonaria, also commonly called lungwort or sometimes Jerusalem Sage. I've never heard it referred to as trout plant either, but it fits. pam - gardengal "SugarChile" wrote in message ... 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: http://www.hardybamboo.com/shop/prod...how=Pulmonaria http://hardyplants.com/Pulmonar.htm but they don't really do it justice, and here's a good article: http://www.plantdelights.com/Tony/pulmonaria.html Cheers, Sue -- Zone 6, South-central PA "Stew Corman" wrote in message om...

What is my name??
I've never heard of pulmonaria referred to as Jerusalem sage, normally that
is Phlomis.... http://www.diggingdog.com/pages2/phlomis.php -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

But was also told it was called pulmonaria. Janice "SugarChile" wrote in message ...
