A gentle walk around Hill Hook LNR, enjoying the results of many volunteers' efforts in planting new wildflowers.

Calystegia sepium (Larger Bindweed, Hedge Bindweed, Hedge False Bindweed, or Rutland beauty) (formerly Convolvulus sepium) is a species of bindweed, with a subcosmopolitan distribution throughout temperate Northern Hemisphere in Europe, Asia, northwestern Africa, and North America, and in the temperate Southern Hemisphere in Australia, and Argentina in South America. Perennial from rhizomes, trailing or climbing vine to 10 feet long, with distinct triangular leaves. Found throughout the eastern United States to the Great Plains, and also in the upper northwestern states.
It is a herbaceous perennial that twines around other plants, in a counter-clockwise direction, to a height of up to 2-4 m, rarely 5 m. The leaves are arranged spirally, simple, pointed at the tip and arrowhead shaped, 5-10 cm long and 3-7 cm broad.
The flowers are produced from late spring to the end of summer. In the bud, they are covered by large bracts which remain and continue to cover sepals. The open flowers are trumpet-shaped, 3-7 cm diameter, white, or pale pink with white stripes. After flowering the fruit develops as an almost spherical capsule 1 cm diameter containing two to four large, black seeds that are shaped like quartered oranges. The seeds disperse and thrive in fields, borders, roadsides and open woods.
Several regional subspecies have been described, but they are not considered distinct by all authorities.
Calystegia sepium is an attractive plant with showy flowers. However, because of its quick growth and clinging vines, it can overwhelm and pull down cultivated plants including shrubs and small trees. Its aggressive self-seeding (seeds can remain viable as long as 30 years) and the success of its creeping roots (they can be as long as 3-4 m) cause it to be a persistent weed and have led to its classification as a noxious weed. The suggested method of eradicating Calystegia sepium is vigilant hand weeding.
This weed is often mistaken for Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis). However, field bindweed leaves are smaller, with a more rounded apex and bases that are pointed or rounded, but not cut off squarely across the top as in hedge bindweed.

Mostly common or bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L) and wild oats (Avena fatua L). Thank you Vicky, Sandy and Shelley for that information.
Hedge bindweed growing in a wooded riparian corridor along the East Gallatin River, Glen Lake Rotary Park, Bozeman, Montana. Red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea) is the common shrub on which hedge bindweed scrambles.

Nach der Sage wurde Rom durch Romulus auf dem Palatinhügel gegründet und die älteste Siedlung wurde tatsächlich auf diesem Hügel 50 m über dem Tiber nachgewiesen. Die römischen Kaiser bauten hier ihre Paläste und die Wörter 'Palast' und 'Pfalz' kommen von Palatin. Heute ist der Palatinhügel eine ruhige, grüne und blühende Oase mitten in der Stadt.

Hedge bindweed is a rhizomatous and stoloniferous perennial with long climbing stems that clamber up and over hedges. It is often a weed of gardens where it climbs over fruit trees, vegetable crops and herbaceous plants. It twines anti-clockwise.
Durante la visita a Olot con motivo de la IX Bienal de fotografía. La bienal nos decepcionó mucho, así que optamos por sacar la cámara y aprovechar el viaje. Este fue el primer sujeto largamente fotografiado.
La toma está hecha con el Zuiko OM 50mm 1:1,8 a f1,8, por ese motivo no aparecen los datos de focal y apertura en los EXIF.

Hedge Bindweed (Calystegia sepium)
Bindweed is a type of plant that contains poisonous alkaloids. This means it's a real problem for other plants because it's capable of outgrowing them and taking all the sunlight, nutrients, and water for itself.
