The hedge bindweeds are Calystegia, unless and until the botanists
change their minds (IIRC, there's some DNA data supporting sinking
Calystegia in Convolvulus). There's a few species present in Britain,
some of which have pink or pink-striped flowers, such as dea bindweed,
Calystegia soldanella. A small pink-flowered one would more likely be
field bindweed, Convolvulus arvensis. A cultivated pink one is
Convolvulus althaeoides.


I'll go that way today and see if I can get a pic of it.
