Yeah, that's what I've been naming it.  :)

It gets confusing in cases like this -- Symphytum 'Hidcote Blue'
is considered a hybrid and as such doesn't have a specific epithet in
the name.  So when it reverts to whatever (assuming that's what it did),
I have no clue what it reverted to.  :)  Or maybe there was a seed from
something in the pot...

It really is a charming plant, though.  The fact that it doesn't get
any taller than 1' is a real plus.

I should add that this is in the corner of my yard where the nuclear 
waste is buried.  Or at least, I think there must be because that's
where I keep finding oddities.  First I found a variegated Vinca sport
still attached to the parent:

Then there was the double-flowering Belamcanda:

And then a whimsical, tipsy coneflower:

I wonder if I should wear protective gear when working in that corner...
