Hedge bindweed


Such an ugly name for such a large, pretty flower.  This is the vine hedge bindweed - obviously a relative of the morning glory.  Both flowers can have this white and pink color: you can tell it is a hedge bindweed because of its arrowhead-shaped leaves, whereas morning glories have heart-shaped leaves.

Growing in a bush set back from the west side of the staircase up to the 116th street exit on the west side of Morningside Park, Manhattan.
