A surprising roadside find, somewhere in northern Portugal. This 1980s Volvo has been almost completely engulfed with vine-like Convolvulaceae plants!

@Obsidian Urbex Photography We call them down growers and they pierce trough wall's, you can see it at the leaf growing downwards. A hard to get rid of plant

Ah in England we have the white ones called "bindweed" that are the same

The Portuguese ones are the purple ones type though. Very pretty but invasive. The purple ones have shallow roots and don't survive winter frosts in England, in the white bindweed type (likewise causes damage and it's hard to get rid of!)
