What's in a Name?

Two of my favourite spring flowers have just come into bloom; one on the roadside near the house, the other in the woods. But whilst the name: "Star of Bethlehem" conjures up a lovely image, "Lungwort" sounds rather less attractive.

Common Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum)

Lungwort (Pulmonaria officinalis)

I think they are both beautiful, but I'll leave you to judge for yourselves..:

(As its name suggests Lungwort was traditionally used as a remedy against lung diseases)
