Today’s Flowers: Periwinkle, Lilac, and Dogwood

periwinkle
Periwinkle is growing on the side of my house: it’s a great ground cover for shady spots.

The lilac blooms have already fallen off my neighbor’s bush. They don’t last long.

dogwood
The dogwood flowers are such a pleasure to view in bloom.
