Save the Egyptian Vulture in Greece
We had looked at this sylvatica , and agree it looks like a convolvulus but the plant is not invasive to others,its not twining around anything else and it stands on its own like a small shrub at first glance the leaves looked different also the flower more square, hence our query that it may have been something else I have attached two more photos. cheers Colnirofo said:

Well that didn't take me long. It is a Datura. Datura inoxia and it is native to Crete.

Thanks for that Col, I should have known that the genus was native to the Americas. Half right anyway.
