Flower for the Day Periwinkle 3-22-17

The periwinkle (Vinca minor) has been blooming foe more than a month. The purple beds surround the east and west sides of the house. I love vinca as a ground cover because it stays green all winter and blooms twice a year. It stays low and does not climb the trees. This vinca bed is more than 70 yards long.

It is impressive close up - beauty growing old.

Lyrics of your smile

Your beauty sings harmony  with a cantata sunrise,  euphoric melodies in viola  and piccolo lingering  'pon a lavender haze  of periwinkle whispers,  symphonic poetry  afloat of dawn's breezes,  ecstasy in tangerine desires,  wafting concertos of passion  as I listen quietly  to my day once again  beginning with the perfect  lyrics of your smile
