Description
Like blades on a fan, the petals of this purple periwinkle flower curve gracefully around the center cup of the plant, twisting in a counter-clockwise direction. The petals change in depth of color, from pale lavender -- almost white -- near the center hub, to a much deeper royal purple farther out. The edges of each arc, and the rim of the cup, have a small white stripe. The inside of the cup is also white, with just a drop of yellow at its middle.
With the magic of photography, the small blossom fills the frame and stretches beyond, saving little room for the green leaves that make up the background behind it. Up close and in your face, it says, "I may be small, but I'm beautiful!"
