I came across this flower in the Algarve. Flowering at the end of February. I think it is a Periwinkle but not sure if Vinca difformis or Vinca minor? Anyone know?

Vinca difformis subsp. difformis - its by far the most frequent one. V.minor has only been recorded in northern Portugal. V.major is in the Algarve but quite scarce inland and has hairs on leaf edges.
