Kathy, think you're right with the title of your image of a Ipomoea purpura (morning glory) flower, because it shines brightly in the (morning?) sun. Perfectly composed, and captured image!

It is a beautiful beautiful colour and the angle of capture is perfect.Against the blue sky and with just a touch of greenery, this deserves a place on a wall in a framne.
Apparently there is a NZ native morning glory that is pink and white but I have never seen one. We do have the blue and heaps of the white bindweed(convolvulus ) which is a real pest and poisonous, especially to horses.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
