Happy Season of Advent
The Periwinkle - Vinca rosea - Virgin Flower, symbolism: Mary's Humility... is native to Madagascar; and widely naturalized in the tropics...If the leaves are eaten by a man and a woman together, it will cause love between them and they will stay in love all their lives...

ReplyDeleteI didn't know that about Periwinkles. They are so delicate, yet hardy plants. They grow wild here in FL, but you can also purchase them. We have a few...wonder if we should eat them? :) Thanks for the history.
ReplyDeletePeriwinkle too! I love learning about all the flowers of Mary. I think someday, I will have to have a garden full of her flowers.
ReplyDeletevery nice. Visiting from Magpie Tales!
ReplyDeleteAn appropriate poem for advent. Lovely.
