Periwinkle

This is a plant with many names. In Portugal it is also known for herbs-of-envy or "congorças", for example. Periwinkles prefer forests, where they do best in places sheltered from the sun and with humidity. It is between January and the end of May that we can appreciate the blue flowers of this species from Southwest Europe and North Africa.
