Hi Patty and all.  Happy US Forth of July.  I wonder if the Convulvus is what 
we call a Creaping Jenny or Bind Weed.
It has white flowers and grows long distances along the ground and will 
strangle anything it winds around.  Farmers hate it.

patterns with Convulvus in them and thinking they looked terribly
familiar, I finally know what they are.>

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.
