I dug up a starter of this plant from a friend's garden last year. I had never seen one before, and it was interesting to me. The leaves are spotted white, and it now has some purple and pink bell like flowers. Also, the stems are prickly. Can anyone identify it? Thanks.

Sure does look like a type of lungwort. Wait til it blooms, then google it.
This is lungwort, or pulmonaria. The spotted foliage is neat, but so are the multi-colored flowers that bloom in the late spring. They grow well in the shade or partial shade and seem to spread after a few years.
It is a lungwort. Thanks to all!
