I've noticed that some of the cultivars are coming true to seed, like
'Langtrees'.  Who's to say?  This Web page indicates that 'Jack Frost'
did come true from seed for one person:

   "'Jack Frost' is the best plant I put in my garden last year,
    with stunning silver overlaying the leaves. A seedling which
    appeared beside it is also silver! Imagine a swath of silver and
    blue in spring in your shady woodland. Heaven! Another cultivar,
    the variegated form, has a gorgeous wide border of creamy
    white. Unfortunately this one does not retain its variegation
    when it self-sows."

I'm tying to collect all of the Brunnera that I can find.  Does anyone
know of any that I'm missing?  Here's my list:

   Brunnera macrophylla
   Brunnera macrophylla 'Betty Bowring'
   Brunnera macrophylla 'Dawson's White'
   Brunnera macrophylla 'Hadspen Cream'
   Brunnera macrophylla 'Jack Frost'
   Brunnera macrophylla 'Langtrees'
   Brunnera macrophylla 'Silver Wings'
   Brunnera macrophylla 'Variegata'

Thanks,

Chris
