Name this flower?

Old fashioned name of 'Granny's Pop Up', star shaped and flowers at night. Anyone any ideas?

Name this flower?
Bindweed. It grows everywhere in the UK It has large white flowers often clambering up fences and walls. As kids we used to pick the flowers and chant a little rhyme then press the bottom of the flower and it pops out, we used to call them grannys petticoat.
Reply:Not exactly the same colloquial name but these things do vary from region to region so it might be this:



Granny Pop Out of Bed = Calystegia sepium

Reply:Common names vary from county to country. Size, colour, height, fragrance. leaf shape are more helpful. Nicotiana has star-shaped flowers, and gives night fragrance.
