The flower of British Convolvulus (also known as bindweed because of its tendency to strangle anything it winds itself round) is usually white or very pale pink and grows wild. The large white form, in particular, strangles any plant it encounters and will grow straight aong the ground over quite large distances to find something to support it.
The Morning Glory flower is gorgeous shade of blue and is often grown as a climbing garden plant here.
The shapes are similar and they are part of a large family of plants with different coloured trumpets.
