What is this pretty weed

    Not being great at sending pictures across the net - I am going to (try and) describe a plant shrub which I would love to identify. I think it is probably a weed that came from my (seed) bird feeder. The plant is out now (and has appeared for the past few springs). It seems to be a shade loving shrub - grows in a clump about a foot high. Lots of flowers. Each of its flowering shoots then go on to have several bell shaped flowers on them (some purple with white tips, but others red). I don't think I have ever seen a flower with different coloured flowers). Any ideas out there????

    Pulmonaria, lung wort has different shades within the flower and comes out around now, does the leaf have "spots" on it?

    No, the leaves are a uniform green. Thanks for taking the trouble to reply though - it is appreciated

    I should clarify - it is not that the flower have different shades within them - the flowers are a different colour completely. Some are purple and white. Others on the same stem (possibly immature) are pink/red. G
