Interesting. I have never heard of Vinca as Morning Glory, only Ipomoea.

I just call it periwinkle, I have one that is climbing over a dead shrub
and it looks very pretty :-)

I am really happy to have V. obscura (or is it oscura?) which has a
mauvey shade and flowers more bell shaped like than those of minor and
major spp. Moreover it stands upright and clumpy showing a good
display of flowers - rather than slinking of instantly for overland
travels like the other two. I love it.

My favourite is the double flowered form, V. minor florepleno IIRC.
