The Living Forest (325) : Hedge Bindweed

Hedge Bindweed is an attractive plant, with showy trumpet-shaped flowers, that twines around other plants, always in a counter-clockwise direction.
The flowers are produced from late spring until the end of summer.

The visitor on the flower is Hystricia abrupta (Tachina fly)

Just like its brother, the Field Bindweed (see picture below), Hedge Bindweed is considered as an agricultural pest by farmers.

Dutch name : Haagwinde
German name : Echte Zaunwinde
