Hedge Morning Glory, Convolvulus Sepium


Day 321: The Hedge Morning Glory or Bindweed is described in some field guides as "rampant" or "pernicious." Larger than its cousin, Field Bindweed, it has a more twining habit and "forms hedge-like growths over other vegetation and objects." A single vine may extend up to eight feet. Youngsters of my era loved to gather the deep white cups which, when inverted, look like skirts for the faerie folk.
