Great Bindweed, Convolvulus Sepium

Angela Brazil, was an influential author of school stories
aimed at older girls. She moved to Coventry in 1911, where she became
interested in preserving natural environments. She was a member of Coventry’s
natural history society and kept a nature diary in which she recorded
information about the weather, plants and wildlife, alongside selected poetic
verses. This watercolour captures Great
Bindweed, Convolvulus Sepium, which has a pure white trumpet-flowered flower
but entangles around other plants as it grows.
