Description

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. ~Mother Teresa

Periwinkle and Tulips
Garden Art by Omaste Witkowski

I love this quote for me personally, I have always found God when I am out in nature. Looking at flowers, walking in the park or listening to the sounds of running water or birds chirping.

There is something magical about taking a moment of silence and appreciating the wonder of creation. The closer I look the more intricate the details I notice and admire. Then I take a wider look and see the majesty of it all.

Amazing to think that all of this was created for us to enjoy. To sustain our bodies, minds, souls and lives. This flower particularly entices me to wonder if the flowers are singing a hymn to the sunshine.

A grateful ode to the power of and majesty of God who gives us all life, love and beauty. These striped Tulips and periwinkles blend together in a colorful harmony and brighten my day! My garden is one of my favorite places in the whole world to be.

What is your favorite way to enjoy nature and the outdoors?

"Vinca minor, Lesser periwinkle and Dwarf periwinkle, is a plant native to central and southern Europe, from Portugal and France north to the Netherlands and the Baltic States, and east to the Caucasus, and also in southwestern Asia in Turkey. Other vernacular names used in cultivation include Small periwinkle, Common periwinkle, and sometimes in the United States, Myrtle or Creeping myrtle,[1] although this is misleading, as the name myrtle normally refers to the Myrtus species."
" Vinca minor is a trailing, viny subshrub, spreading along the ground and rooting along the stems to form large clonal colonies and occasionally scrambling up to 40 cm high but never twining or climbing. The leaves are evergreen, opposite, 2-4.5 cm long and 1-2.5 cm broad, glossy dark green with a leathery texture and an entire margin.

The flowers are solitary in the leaf axils and are produced mainly from early spring to mid summer but with a few flowers still produced into the autumn; they are violet-purple (pale purple or white in some cultivated selections), 2-3 cm diameter, with a five-lobed corolla. The fruit is a pair of follicles 2.5 cm long, containing numerous seeds.

The closely related species Vinca major is similar, but larger in all parts, and also has relatively broader leaves with a hairy margin." - Wikipedia
