Hedge Bindweed
The familiar Morning Glory flower and vine seems popular with painters, photographers, and illustrators around the world. Think how many children's books have morning glory artwork! There are over 1000 species of plants that have the common name, which may explain its popularity! The Hedge Bindweed (Convolvulus sepium) is white and has large heart shaped leaves. I found these blooming along the Tualatin River at Jackson Bottom. Each bloom is about 2.5 inches across. (6/10/2013)
