I thought I'd share some of my garden pics. A "carpet" of purple #periwinkle is a favorite amongst my bee friends. It's a bit woody to walk on barefoot, but not too uncomfortable.

We have a #pollinator paradise in our back yard. Unfortunately, the #HumingbirdMoth and #BumbleBees (who are nesting in the leaves underneath) had fled the scene by the time I got my camera, but other pollinators were buzzing around. In addition to the #dandelions and #periwinkle, we also have a blooming crab #apple tree nearby, and some 100-year old #lilacs (that smell amazing), which have just started blooming.

There are a lot of Periwinkles growing in our yard right now.

Periwinkles are low growing ground cover. The flowers are small. This is a closeup image of periwinkles taken at ground level. The flowers are light purple, with five petals and a star shaped center outlined in white. This image has a face on look at at periwinkle in the center, with a second nearby to the left and many others behind to two flowers in the front. The flowers are surrounded by leaves and stems.

Greater Periwinkle, also known as Sorcerer’s Violet, Creeping Myrtle, Joy on the Ground, and Devil’s Eye. Periwinkle contains vincamine, used as a cerebral stimulant. The plant represents early recollections, memories, and sweet remembrance. One snippet of folklore suggests that gazing at periwinkle flowers would restore lost memories. #FabulousFolklorePodcast #FolkloreThursday #Folklore #PlantLore #Flowers #FolkloreBlog #Periwinkle #Plants

The dwarf periwinkles (Vinca minor) that we planted last year are already showing their beautiful flowers!

These plants were grown without pesticides and bought from the Dutch company https://sprinklr.co It's a steward owned company, whose mission is to strengthen biodiversity.

"Oh, Charlotte," chided Maud, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Not all who wander are #LOST?'"

"I beg your pardon," declared Charlotte, aghast.
"What are these #Plants if not lost? Did we not agonize over these edges? And are you really going to let the likes of #Periwinkle & #Mint tyrannize these borders?
I'd say not."

Maud hid her smile. When it came to the #Garden, she was the more relaxed. But she couldn't resist playing the #StingingNettle with her sister.

#periwinkle, #lambsears and other greenery adorn this entrance way at #chadstone shopping centre #Australia.

Competing with retail marketing, post Xmas sales and crowds, I do wonder how many actually observe this beauty.

Some do. I’m certain if it!

Frost seizes my #garden day after day, but nobody told these #periwinkle to pack it in for the year, so they’re my last flowers left. #januaryjoy #gardening

A periwinkle blooms lushly in a fairy garden. It has dark green leaves and purple “blue flowers.

#Happiness
by #Trilussa

"Swooping down, a busy bee
lands on the bud of a rose tree:
it sucks the nectar and takes wing…
All things considered, happiness
is a very small thing."

I'd like to add this verse to my #translation:
"Is it already spring?"

Only 5 days left of my 2022 favourite photos round up! This is a egg capsule of A flat periwinkle (either Littorina fabalis or obtusata). Look closely and you can see the little shells of the babies!

Sooner or later, #Gardeners come to realize that more than anything else, they simply want #Plants with #Good #Manners.

True, almost any Plant can become a #Tyrant in the right #Circumstance.

But ask a gardener about the manners of #Ivy, #Creepers, #Bamboo, #Periwinkle, #StJohn'sWort, #LilyOfTheValley, #BishopsWeed, etc., and suddenly that #Sweet #Loving Plant #Person #Transforms into a #General with serious #War stories.

Some even have the #Scars to prove it.

Remembering the periwinkle-covered shore of Loch Linnhe this summer. I got to watch the teeny tiny snails eat their lunch!
