  Definitely convulvulus - if you mean the plant in flower, as Fairygirl says. Tough as old boots they are.

  Ah - yes, it might struggle a bit, island gardener! 
  It's the cold, wet ground that makes it tough for them. Best to lift it 
  dappleds - even in the best site I could give it, with good drainage, the prolonged wet winters here, and cold ground that takes ages to warm up and dry out, are no use for them. Pity - as they can be quite delightful.
