Frogs and snails and Tin Can Tommy

I didn't have to work it out. I knew it was Convolvulus just looked up it's Latin specific name on Google. You forget, my generation didn't have computers and TV. We played with simple things like Convolvulus, caterpillars and snails. Did I ever tell you about the time I collected a jar of snails, left them in the kitchen overnight and they had all escaped onto the damp facecloth by morning!

For the benefit of all you youngsters out there, the first computer I used at work in the early 70's had a huge, to me, hard drive of 20Mb.

Convolvulus avensis

Google the above and see if it fits the bill. If you squeeze the base of the flower, as I did as a child, the white trumpet pops out and falls like a parachute.

Yep!

I think you're right - looking at the pictures from Google Images for Convolvulus Arvensis seems to suggest that you're right. How did you work that out? You got good at Googleing while I wasn't watching? ;-)
