Welcome, perkins. I like that name. And I like your plants. it is too dry here to grow these well. I think it is lungwort, Pulmonaria. Look up some images and see if you can find one like yours.

That was my first thought but I cant find any pictures that match up. The leaves are always different, it almost looks like a type of heuchera, but I also cant match up with those...

If I found a heuchera with flowers that color, I'd be all over it. I like your plant. I hope someone can help you here.

That is a type of Brunnera, aka. Heart Leaf Brunnera. It is a shade plant that grows wild in many states and has been cultivated for the garden. There are several different ones for the garden now.

Brunnera definately. I think they are beautiful. I got a few for my grandmothers garden and she loves them. I'm going to get a few for my mom this year, They do like the damp shade, so I can't have any myself.
