Bellbind

/ˈbɛlbaɪnd/ noun

Definition

a climbing or twining plant, specifically a bindweed variety, known for its bell-shaped flowers.

Etymology

From 'bell' (the flower shape) plus 'bind' (a plant that binds or winds). This is a folk name combining descriptive elements rather than a formal botanical term.

Kelly Says

Folk plant names are pure poetry—'bellbind' tells you exactly what to expect: a twining plant with bell-shaped blooms. These descriptive names often stick better than official botanical Latin names!
