  • Flowering plant ID?

    Question

    I'd like to identify this plant that is growing in my yard. I've looked online and in my wildflower field guide, but nothing matches exactly. The closest match I've seen are Virginia Bluebells.

    Naturalist's Response

    This plant is commonly know as lungwort, Pulmonaria officinalis. It is native to Europe and is a commonly grown garden plant.

    Here is the Wikipedia link explaining more about the history of this plant.
