Think Pink (and Purple)

Not to be outdone, the Vinca have decided to display their purple blossoms.

When I bought these plants, I was warned that they would spread and take over whatever area I planted them in.

Yeah, right, I thought.  Our soil is so crappy that I was going to be lucky if these things survived the first summer.

Guess these beauties proved me wrong.  They not only survived, they thrived!

Now it’s a constant battle to keep them contained in the garden as they spill over the rocks and dig their heals into the yard.

I guess that’s not such a bad thing.
