Convolvulus (pronounced /kənˈvɒlvjuːləs/)[1] is a genus of about 250 species of flowering plants in the bindweed family Convolvulaceae, with a cosmopolitan distribution. Common names include bindweed and morning glory, both names shared with other closely related genera.

They are annual or perennial herbaceous vines and (a few species) woody shrubs, growing to 0.3-3 m tall. The leaves are spirally arranged, and the flowers trumpet-shaped, mostly white or pink, but blue, violet, purple or yellow in some species.

Many of the species are problematic weeds, which can swamp other more valuable plants by climbing over them, but some are also deliberately grown for their attractive flowers. However, some other species are globally threatened.

This species occurs in many temperate regions. They are mostly slender, creeping winding vines. A few are small perennials. They have simple, alternate leaves and wide funnel-shaped flowers.

Convolvulus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the leaf-miner Bucculatrix cantabricella (feeds exclusively on Convolvulus cantabricus), Bedellia annuligera (recorded on Convolvulus arvensis) and Bedellia somnulentella.

We are neighbours today!
A fine macro of an attractive flower bud taken with fine sharpness and colours against a nice contrasting BG.
It would nice if our botanists could ID this.
Thanks and best regards,

Very eye-pleasing. Is this a Convolvulus (bindweed) flower after the bloom?

TFS,

Ishi

Merhaba Durzan,

Lovely macro capture of an adorable flower with great details! The dark green blurry BG works well here, as it gives wonderful contrast to your subject. The sharpness and POV are perfect.
Very well done, my friend!
