    Lesser periwinkle (Vinca minor).

    I strongly doubt it is a lesser perwinkle. A quick google search shows a different plant.

    My mistake, it does bear some resemblance to the few lesser periwinkles I have seen on google.
    The petals have the same asymetry (point is off to one side) and they are wider.

    I'll keep looking to see if I find a match.

    Thanks.

    Aha...
    found it.

    Vinca-herbacea.

    Thanks for the clue!

    Don't know that one, thus the wrong answer.
