I can't believe it! I ordered via the internet and subsequently planted
10
Calystegia Pink Sensation. They've grown lovely and have finally
flowered
today ... only, they're not calystegia, they're convovulus.



Are you sure it's not Calystegia which is known as False Bindweed and is
in
the family Convolvulaceae?


Hi, Bob. It's probably Calystegia sepium. It's certainly nothing like the
photograph of the plant that I ordered, which you can see at this website
(which is not where I ordered it from)

The flower I have is white and single, exactly like Calystegia sepium and
it's twining all over the place (but not in the right place).

I'm just about to go out and tackle it, but I don't know whether to dig it
up or give it a dose of Round Up.
