Why oh why did I look at this thread?
Joseph, those are AMAZING! I've never seen a MG shaped like that one before! Of course, the name "bindweed" scares me a bit! Are these invasive like the bindweed that many of us know about that grows here in the US? The horrible stuff that can take over anything and everything and is almost impossible to get rid of? I'd be thankful if my bindweed looked like this! Not sure that I'd love it, if it has an invasive nature, but it sure is beautiful!
