This is called a periwinkle. It is also the name of a color blue. We have all kinds of these on our hillside in the shade. I love to take pictures of them every spring. Nice shot!

Hi Hermann!
I find your flower pictures very inspiring - you really have a gift!
Is it alright if I use 4 of your pictures in a stained glass project? I would like to use the marigold (red and yellow flower), the periwinkle (this one), the fuschia (red and white hanging flowers) and the bachelor's button (spiky blue flower - my description - you just called it a blue flower :) ). I have looked through most of your photoblog, but I don't see any pictures of cut glass. Have you ever taken a picture of that? If you have, would you be willing to share some tips with me so that I can improve my photography efforts?
Thanks!
Very, very nice! Lots and lots of light to brighten up the picture. I've taken a very, very similar picture of the same flower. To tell you the truth, my picture was a little darker thah yours and had a little less greenish backround. So applaud yourself! That was good!
wauw, this is a good example of the good old short focus (rose) function of the camera. Still, i think you could have got a better picture if the colors were more in contrast. But I must say, it looks good!

Hi! Sure, feel free to use the photos. I don't think I have photos of cut glass though.
Anyway, when your project is finished could you post a photo of it somewhere so I can have a look? I'm curious what you will create.
Thanks, Uwe.
