A little bright-spark of a flower twinkling away amongst the variegated leaves - I know it is rather an invasive plant but I always love to see its flower in the sunlight . The name periwinkle has always had a magical sound to it - so expect to find a fairy or two amongst it foliage !!
Rather a dull morning but it may turn to sunshine later ! Yesterday I spent some time in the garden overseeing Gary digging out the overwhelming bluebells in one border . They had taken over - More work there today ! Gary had seen a police car in the drive in the afternoon and had stopped outside a neighbour's house a few doors away , and made us wonder if everything was alright with Gloria ! Later a knock at the door - and a PC doing a door to door check on the drive and neighbourhood as there had been a number of burglaries the previous night .. A very uneasy feeling especially we are in a very quiet part of the town with no such thing happening - but in this day and age - one can never be complacent - !!
Gorgeous flower...I like the name periwinkle too....hope you stay safe and secure it is unnerving to have such incidents happening in your neighbourhood
Beautiful shot. I have always wondered how this plant got its sweet name. An ugly incidence with the police knocking on doors to gather information. Might keep you awake throughout the night expecting burglars coming to rob you which I hope will never happen.
Oh that’s a worry Beryl but at least they are on to it....I doubt burglars will venture anywhere near your area now! 🤞🏻
Pretty blue flower & an even prettier name. Good on Gary.....
That sounds a bit worrying, but I do like your description of the pretty periwinkle. They're not as invasive as the bluebells! I never know whether to dig the bluebells up before they flower or after!
Great capture! I Love the periwinkles along our walking path!
So sad to hear about the burglaries in your neighborhood! We had warnings that houses were being broken into between 3pm-6pm and to keep our doors locked in the afternoons!
Love your Periwinkle, reminded me that we had some once.
Take care .
Oh dear how worrying for you. Keep your doors locked.
I can imagine you're feeling uneasy. Take care.

Vinca. I got my front garden full with it.
