That is the source of the confusion. Here in Missouri we just call it myrtle also. I added the crape in front of it which is obviously wrong. I have never heard it called periwinkle but I received about 15 e-mails all of which agreed 100% that it was periwinkle and that combined with a grove of cedar trees is a sure sign of an old cemetery. Ah, one more little mystery solved! THANKS. Craig Kilby
