Could you do a closeup of a flower and at least one leaf?

Having spent many hours trying to get rid of Vinca from both my Garden and Red Hill - I'm happy to confirm this photo as the dreaded pest

I do have a photo of the flower and will put it on there. I tried to put it in as a shrub and the photo seems to have disappeared into the ether. I will have another go. I have to crank up my laptop.
