Thanks, it does look like it is - will have to check the other half's camera to see if they are 4 or 5 petal in her pics... |

Vinca oxyloba minus one petal for some reason, as a guess! Your description of it as looking like a propeller is a classic.Where did you see it? -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

Dunster Castle gardens - along with snowdrops, daffs, camellias and even a rose in bloom! That looks and 'reads' gorgeous. We're going to be having a week end in a lovely hotel near Dulverton some time this spring and I think that will be a 'must see' destination. -- Sacha |
