Spring Flower by olivetreeann

Spring Flower

Some of you call this a Periwinkle. I've always called it Myrtle because that's what my mom called it. It was one of her favorite Spring flowers, so I'm posting it in her honor.
Nice tribute to her. Nice to see some lovely spring flowers. We are facing a snowfall warning for this weekend

Lovely thought and a lovely thought. I had a shot of the daffodil today and a shot of the periwinkle that i took yesterday. I decided on the daffodil. :)

@nadaa Thanks Nada. I was thinking of doing another shot of my daffodils. After all they are my favorite flower! But I remembered I had this shot too, so I decided to go with something a little different.

I agree this is myrtle. I think periwinkle and vinca are the alternate names of a different plant.

@allie912 Thanks Allison! I will have to remember to check out my wildflower book and see. You might be right.
@summerfield Thanks Vikki- it sort of breaks the rule of thirds to be smack in the middle, but I think in this case, the rule was made to be broken.

They pop up so early, and I think they give us false hope, but still they are nice to look at.

A beautiful shot and a beautiful flower.

this must be myrtle.. cause mom's always knows the best..
what is fun is that I stole some of this plant from the hospital's garden yesterday.. we believe that stolen flowers root better and faster..=P.. of course without ruining the mother plant..=)..
I love the colour and the details.. beautiful shot..

Pretty shot. Isn't it interesting how many names flowers go by.

@eniaral Thank you Laraine!
@inertie Thank you Pinar! Yes, this plant transplants really well. Although you might not think so from this shot. My soil is not great so this probably would have spread a lot faster if it was.
@henrir Thank you Henri!
@daisy Thank you Kathryn!

I have some of this. I did photograph it earlier in the month or so, not sure I posted. I got it from a friends years ago, but I never knew what it was called. :-) Happy Spring :-)

@vposey Thanks Vickie! Happy Spring to you too!
