A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Mother's Day Plant

This is the little plant all mothers at church was given on Mother's Day by the sunday school kids, but I don't know what the name of it is. Can you help me?



And here it is now!!! I love it!:

wow! you are certainly taking care of it well. it's just loaded with blooms! my first thought was periwinkle, although the bloom shape may be a bit different?
you are getting that many blooms keeping it in the house?

Yep! My plants do really well for me!! No...it's not a periwinkle...

I don't have any ideas as to what it may be Shirls but I like it! That was nice of them to give to you!!

I am voting for a Annual Vinca----(catharanthus Roseus??) commonly known as: madagarcar periwinkle???

Oh so sorry Cricket....you were right and Carol is right!!!

I looked on line for the name you gave, Carol, and that's it!!!

The reason I said not a Periwinkle was because I thought it was something that started with a V...sure enough it was!! I did not know a Vinca was a Periwinkle!

I LOVE the Garden Helper and it's family!!!!
