In early Spring, this little plants came out underneath our Helleborus!

Today, this same plant has finally opened its first flower (see below) and it looks like this ??? It looks lovely with its colour and shape ... just thought someone here may know this plant's name and its whereabouts ... thank you.


Thanks again in advanced!

    Oops - wrong blue flower!  If the leaves get spotty its probably a pulmonaria, though not all forms do.

    Silver Surfer, Thank you for sharing its name 'Silene fimbriata'. Indeed, this is the plant as depicted in the description of the link that you sent as well. Will surely take care of this rare plant in my garden. 

    Obelixx thanks for your insight as well. We love the Anemone Blanda and have been propagating them to spread across that area since last year. This Spring, they look very pretty and our neighbours were delighted seeing them in bloomed.

    I'd take care of it my moving it away from the Hellebore, or maybe take care of the Hellebore that way. Silene fimbriata has a large spread when it gets going.
