I ran across this patch of periwinkle* in the hollow of the lower pasture next to the woods. I thought it a strange place to find a flower I normally associated with a house garden but have since learned it is considered an invasive plant now, having "escaped" from old homesteads and gardens and now flourishing freely along highways and forest edges.
It's still a pretty ground cover, but I will leave it at the edge of the woods and not move it up near the house.
*At least, I think it's periwinkle.
It is pretty. It's sad when pretty plants are invasive. But it happens.
