Bindweed, the gardener’s enemy, has evolved into some unique Canarian species. Relatively recently discovered on the Risco de Famara in Haría is the rare purple-flowered creeper Convolvulus lopezsocasi (red-list protected) pictured below. This flourishes in several parts of the garden. Although much less rare (endemic to the Canary Islands), Convolvulus floridus makes an equally stunning impact in the garden. This species forms a shrub growing up to 3 metres high.
