Morning all
Yes it is blue comfrey (hidcote) , you are all so good , I had never seen blue comfrey before.
I thought it looked good and reminded me of bluebells.
I used the word lungbane out of respect , because that is how it was referred to in this conversation.I am a very poor speller and when I try to use the Latin names I have to look up the spelling every time. Also being a two fingered typist makes for some very time consuming responses
Charlie ,
you are right about the name lungwort coming from the Doctrine of Signatures.
Even the Latin pulmonaria refers to the word we use for lung (pulmonary)
