mystery shiny leaved shrub


I have been growing this shrub for over 30 years in my unheated greenhouse. I thought it was Vinca rosea, seed of which I had bought from Park's. It has shiny evergreen leaves and has never flowered. Today I decided I had waited long enough and began to cut it down. To my surprise, I found it was flowering. Perhaps it has done so every year and I never noticed the green flowers.

Can anyone identify it?

I have put a picture on my Picasa account:
