This is a really lovely photo but it isn't Calystegia soldanella, which has kidney shaped leaves as in your description and reticulate venation as in this picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Calystegia_soldanella_060524wb.jpg The plant in your photo looks more like a dehydrated Umbilicus sp. (navelwort) leaf: http://www.bihrmann.com/caudiciforms/subs/umb-rup-sub.asp
