A jacket I bought with my babysitting money when I was about 13, I thought it was a light purple but I remember the saleslady saying the colour was called periwinkle blue. My friend bought the same style in turquoise.

I think of the little purple flower, and I think of leukemia. Did you know that the drug vincristine used for the treatment of leukemia is obtained from the periwinkle flower? There is a society known as 'The Periwinkles' for children with leukemia and their parents.

A former prof of mine, whose eyes I thought of as periwinkle blue. His eyes were in fact the most interesting thing about him.

Where I was brought up, winkle was slang for the male member, so, even at age 123, it still strikes me as a cute little word.
