Does anyone know the name of this pink flower?
Vinca is one of the best examples of why you need to know botanical names. Known variously as vinca, periwinkle, and Madagascar periwinkle, summer-flowering vinca is Catharanthus. It is easily confused with Vinca minor and Vinca major. All of them are members of the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. Catharanthus likes the exact opposite conditions of its cousins, which are also called vinca. Catharanthus prefers sunny, hot situations and blooms all summer until frost. The cousins, Vinca minor and Vinca major, are evergreen vining ground cover plants for shade that produce lovely, generally blue, flowers in spring; they are propagated from cuttings not seed. Another cousin, called vinca vine (Vinca major), is a trailing vine with soft green leaves variegated whitish-yellow; it is popular for use in containers, window boxes, and hanging baskets.





Why the name confusion? The plant botanists who first observed Catharanthus noticed that the flower closely resembled Vinca minor, and it does superficially. They named it Vinca rosea. By the time botanists realized the differences between the plants, the name vinca had become too common to change. The botanical name for the summer flowering vinca, however, underwent a few changes from Lochnera to Ammocallis until it was finally classified as Catharanthus. The species name, C. roseus, which means rose-colored, changed only from the feminine rosea to the masculine roseus to match the gender of the Latin name of the genus. The genus name, Catharanthus, translates as "pure flower." Most modern cultivars are a consequence of hybrids made between C. roseus and other Catharanthus species.

Reply:Sounds like "Bermuda Buttercups", a species of Oxalis.





Not somethng you shuld plant. They become obnoxious weeds very easily. But I have seen them for sale.
Reply:sour grass or cape sorrel
Reply:Its sorrel. That is Old French for sour. In Texas we called ours sheep shire or sheep sorrel when I was a kid. Don't eat too much.





Dandilions are bitter, sorrel is sour. Sorrel type found in Texas looks sort of like clover with light green leaves that are tiny and the flowers are very small and yellow.

Hard to tell without more info, but it may be creeping phlox this plant also come in pink and white. It is hardy to zone 4 and is great on banks, etc. blooms quite a while.
Reply:If you see it in large masses, or a lot of square footage, or it appears to be planted instead of naturally occuring-I'd say it is "crown vetch" used for erosion control and to cover banks.





Highway depts use it all the time for this type of application.





If the flower is more upright and is clustered in small goups then it is our native phlox
Reply:I do beleive that the "flowers" you see on the side of the roads are not flowers at all. They are a type of weed. They are very pretty but be aware, they are full of red bugs.
Reply:Ajuga (sp?) more commonly known as bugel weed. It is quite invasive and great for any area that erodes. It is also an evergreen and has a purple tint to its leaves.
Reply:Periwinkle had purple blooms, so maybe that's it.
Reply:purple vetch. Be careful if you want to plant it because it takes over quickly.
Reply:go check it out
