If you can't beat them...

Lungwort ( Pulmonaria officinalis )

As usual, I spent the afternoon with Kanyl, and as usual, I had a wander round his garden looking for a blip.  The first thing to catch my eye were these Lungwort flowers, I find them unusual as they have pink and blue flowers on the same plant.

The plant is given the name Lungwort because in the past it was felt the leaves looked like ulcerated lungs and so it was believed to be good for lung conditions.  The flowers don't remain as two colours they open pink and then turn blue.
