Day 181: bellbind

Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year

Aren’t we pretty, though? Delicate white trumpets upturned with a coquettish gaze, innocently knowing, butter-wouldn’t-melt. You’re not kidding me. The flowers of hedge-bindweed, or Calystegia sepium (bellbind, heavenly trumpets, granny-pop-out-of-bed) are admittedly glorious – sufficiently so to allow some of the damn stuff the freedom to bloom, as long as you have an area of the garden you don’t mind temporarily abandoning to its embrace – but the constrictions of the accompanying bunting outweigh their charms. Still, where they accidentally appear due to the gardener being preoccupied elsewhere... well. It’s not all bad.
