Thanks, Baa... feel better about Lungwort, too. These common names are really interesting, and so different from country to country, culture to culture. For instance, we Yanks refer to bellis as "English Daisies", while, I believe you refer to them as "Lawn Daisies"? The more I investigate plants, the more I understand why the botanical names are so important, and the more I understand that even the botanical names may vary.
