That's a pretty colour. Vinca just pops up all over my garden - have never planted it - and so far I've discovered four different colours, but not an orange. I spend a lot of time pulling out great clumps of it - it just cannot be tamed.

Really Bernieh! That's great! I love vincas and wouldn't mind if they just popped up...but you might see it differently if you don't want them there! =)

Yes, TT they have quite a few...I'm sure they are hybrids, don't know how many colors they naturally have...there's also a white one, a light lavneder, a dark lavender, a red one...they became really popular in Houston last year though I don't think they're native to this region... Thanks!

Wow, these do like it there. I've been tempted by a little blue one. If it survives my winter, there a few places I'd like it to spread.

I'm sure you can keep it inside Greenthumb! You have such beautiful plants that I never thought could survive in Alaska!
