Checking against my files, that looks like Field Bindweed (Convolvulus
arvensis).

Wrong leaves, surely?
Think it's the one Sacha had in a pot at her old house

I can only remember having C. cneorum

Cneorum was what i was thinking of

and possibly C. mauritanicus (now C
sabaticus, I think - sigh......). Do you recall where, Kay? I haven't
lived there for 9 years so your memory is a lot better than mine, I must
say!

Probably not! I just like convolvulus in all forms, the looks, and
especially the scent of the little pink one that grows wild in the UK.

Stand with your back to the front door of your old house. There's a sort
of dividing line half way to the road, with lawn the far side and path
and plants to the house side. A bit to your right on the near side of
the dividing line is a small pot about 18 inches high with a convolvulus
in it.

And now you'll tell me this is nothing like your garden! ;-)

Sounds like my old garden but I don't remember a pot of convolvulus, I must
admit! What a fantastic memory you've got!

To me this looks a bit like one that we see growing wild round here
sometimes. Are those its leaves because they look as if they belong to
something else!

Yes, I think they are, and I think they are the leaves of C cneorum

I'll have to go and have an explore.
