Granny Pop Out Of Bed.


 When I was in Kerry the other day.  I noticed a pink Convolvolus, Bindweed or Granny Pop Out Of Bed.  It was growing through a laurel hedge.

Normally the ones I see growing are white with their trumpet flowers.

Who would think a weed (wild flower) could look so beautiful?  Well it's related to the garden cultivar "Morning Glory or Ipoemia.

Have you see any interesting weeds/wild flowers lately?

  1. I'm sure we have that growing here on fences and along the side of the road. It's a winter flower here. Very pretty

  3. I think it's very cruel to pop your granny out of her bed. Pretty flower though. It grows everywhere here too.

  4. True. It's a better name for a flower than the Glaswegian song: " You canny throw your Granny off the bus". Do you have the pink ones?
