Ipomoea [purpurea?]

 IMG_5891 [Ipomoea purpurea]

Ipomoea is the largest genus in the plant family Convolvulaceae with about 500 species. The flower above most probably belongs to the species of purpurea but I leave the exact identification to the experts.
 

With identification put aside, I believe no matter how you call the flower, its beauty remains unquestionable [imho].
 

It is said to have originated from Mexico and Central America but apparently has spread almost all over the world.
