Still in the gardens in Goddards, and there were several areas covered with this rather attractive flower. I have no idea what it is, so if any of you recognise it, I would be interested to hear what it is.
This is my problem when I visit gardens like this, there are always plants that I don't recognise, or that I do recognise but can't name - and the online plant identifier that I use isn't always helpful. But then again I love to see the wide variety of plants in such gardens.
Gorgeous colour - if you have an Android phone, I highly recommend Google Lens within Google Photos - I find it generally very accurate and it's identified this as @busylady says as a pulmonaria
Lovely flowers. Flowers like these can be found growing wild in our countryside. I gave a quick check on Google but couldn't even find the flower so if you have time check Maltese Flora.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
Thank you too to those of you who identified this as pulmonaria. It is an attractive photogenic plant - I will have to keep watch for more of it to take photos of when I'm out and about.
I'm sure you would enjoy these gardens, they are attractive whatever the season. Sadly though the house is no longer open to visitors, except for a cafe. The other limitation is that only disabled parking is allowed due to limited space, though there are a number of bus services from the city centre to get here. (They start at the railway station and drop you at the Marriot Hotel, which is very close to Goddards).
A delightful capture.
