3/4/2022 – periwinkle
These flowers are a beautiful shade of periwinkle. These are Speedwells (Veronica spp.) with 1/4 to 1/2 inch flowers. Some people grow them on rock walls, or use as border plants, while many others revile them as creeping weeds that encroach upon their lawns. Speedwell also has a medicinal use. Traditional use includes wound healing, the treatment of rheumatism, and use in different human diseases. Veronica spp. exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activities, including microbial and antioxidant. So next time you’re tempted to rip it out if your lawn, think about all its benefits.
