Pulmonaria fanatics?

I confess -- I am a pulmonaria fanatic. I usually go for large, sun-loving plants, but low-growing lungworts have captured my fancy. Early, extended blooming followed by lush mounds of interesting foliage and a prolific, but tidy habit make these some of my favorite plants in the garden. I always introduce them to garden visitors -- who frankly, seem underwhelmed. They usually go for the bolder things like Artemisia 'Valerie Finnis' or Hosta 'Sum and Substance' planted nearby. I'm becoming convinced that it takes a sophisticated plant palate to appreciate these subtle gems.
Anyone else out there who loves lungworts? What are your favorites? And most importantly, do you have divisions to share in the SE MI, metro Detroit area?
P.S. Who is snatching up all the cultivars at the Matthaei Plant Sale?!
