Convolvulus Aculeatus

Convolvulus aculeatus, commonly known as the prickly morning glory, is a flowering plant native to southern Europe and parts of Asia. It is characterized by its trailing stems and vibrant purple or pink flowers that bloom in the early morning. The plant features small, sharp spines along its stems, which help it cling to surfaces and deter herbivores. Often found in rocky or disturbed soils, it thrives in sunny environments. Despite its rugged appearance, it is valued for its ornamental beauty and resilience in challenging conditions.
