Good for you, Steverino.

The only problem is that none of that is relevant to the original question
that was asked by Warren.

Also the genera Convolvulus and Ipomoea are NOT synonymous.

Bindweed is the common name for Convolvulus arvensis not Ipomoea.

There are three kinds of Convolvulus or Bindweed in our native flora:
the Field, Hedge, and the Sea Convolvulus. We have also many southern
species growing in our gardens, chief among which are the handsome
Morning Glory (Ipomea purpurea Linn.), C. purpureus, a native of Asia,
with large purple flowers, and the pretty little annual, C. minor, a
native of southern Europe, its cheerful flowers a combination of blue,
yellow and white.

What I've got looks similar to the picture posted. They are mostly
shades of violet to purple, some bluer, some pink. All have the white
throat and violet star. Leaves are heart-shaped as shown. They were
originally planted as garden flowers (40 or so years ago) and have gone
wild. We've planted various seed packets over the years, I always
assumed that's how we got the pink ones. When I was young we only had
purple. They are, or act as, annuals (zone 5-6).

A few years ago we started getting white flowers with arrowhead shaped
leaves, which I now know is bindweed. They may have come in a
wildflower mix, don't know.
