The blue flowers of the Vinca major vine are very attractive. Although its cousin Vinca minor is very common in the tropical region, Vinca major is rare. I found this plant in the Himalayas.The alkaloid Vincamine which is used by the pharmaceutical industry is extracted from the plant. The flowers are used in homeopathic remedies.
Glad you found Vinca major. I was hoping someone would post one as I would like to learn more about this plant. The blue must be really attractive ;-)
