Bindweed (Convolvulus Arvensis)
The bindweed flower may not sound appealing, but these ruffled white blooms are actually quite graceful. They’re often used in garlands or presented in small bundles. When given as a gift, the bindweed flower symbolizes family or fertility. In some cultures, they are commonly used as gifts to parents or grandparents as a token of appreciation.
While once treated as a pest in the garden, these blossoms have come into their own. Today, in addition to harvesting their blossoms for their beauty, the bindweed can be made into a medicinal tea and their vines are tough enough to be used as a natural twine in floral arrangements.
