Hi , Google Vinca Minor (botanical name) and you will find many pictures of Periwinkle. This plant is used extensively as a ground cover here in the Pacific NW. I had some in my yard but removed it because it can try to take over. Very pretty though.

Steve, Thanks for the botanical

name...I've never minded when the vinca takes over.

..less weeds to pull and less planting to do! And a sign of Spring

always makes me happy.

Sher, I don't think we can put our flower there. They copy way to big...at least mine did. But I am not a wizzzzzzz at this thing.. Love and Prayers, Peggy (65)  IPF  2004,  Florida"Worry looks around, Sorry looks back,  Faith looks up."

Peggy... I can't seem to figure it out but I'm not a wizzzzz either.

I like the idea though. What flower do you like? No stinkweed though, you silly!

I wrote someone (my memory is really getting to be a problem) that for all the reasons I like the nasturtiums is the reason I will have my ashes planted in a barrel with them to "bloom where I'm planted". In my post to Vicky I said why I like them. My Lysa will water me. lol.
