Hedge bindweed (Calystegia sepium)
Hedge bindweed, also known as Bellbind
Bindweed, a relative of the Morning Glory, features trumpet-shaped flowers that grow in a slightly different manner. Often viewed as a weed, it tends to spread aggressively and can smother other plants. Despite its invasive nature, the flowers are quite attractive. In the UK, children sometimes play a game where they pop the flowers off the vine.
