Default Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?

Vincas or Periwinkles are very common summer landscaping annuals in Georgia. They are supposed to be very deer resistant, but surprisingly a few young plants of mine also were damaged by the deer.

Here are some different colored periwinkles I'm growing this year. Some are grown from the seeds I saved, and some are from self-seeding.









Although I can hardly tell the color difference from the pictures, the first photo dose show a magenta periwinkle and the last one a darker pink periwinkle. In the future, I'm planning to collect purple colored periwinkle seeds or seeds of any other colors.
