Wild Morning Glory

Flowers At The Beach
Bindweed, also known as (wild morning glory), amongst purple flowers, red berries, and driftwood, at the beach. Other names include Calystegia sepium, hedge bindweed, Rutland beauty, bugle vine, heavenly trumpets, bellbind, greater bindweed, bearbind, hedge convolvulus, hooded bindweed, old man's nightcap, bride's gown, wedlock (referring to the white gown-like flowers and the binding nature of the vine), white witches hat, belle of the ball. A common childhood pastime in the UK is to 'pop' the flowers from the sepals while chanting "Granny, granny- pop out of bed".
