Perwinkle flowers bloom on the Vinca minor vine in early spring.
Say, “Periwinkle” out loud,
and feel the smile slide on to your lips.
Happiness bubbles up through each syllable.
Violas
Soft pastel tint of blue,
Cool morning sky color,
German Iris, “Stairway to Heaven”
Lavender blue,
Shade of lilacs and seashells.
Named for the tiny spring flower of the Vinca vine,
Periwinkle ,
Appears only in the big Crayola Crayon boxes.
Rosemary in bloom
Good for coloring spring flowers,
And hair ribbons, little girls’ dresses,
And tea time petit fours frosting.
Perennial Ajuga
Tastes of lavender,
Smells of honey,
Feels like cool agates found in the surf,
Sounds like the passing of a moth at dusk.
Clematis “Arabella”
Periwinkle
