I think you all have beautiful blooms.

However . . .

I think if you research the internet a bit, you will find that the original Scarlett O'Hara morning glory is a solid red (no white throat). Even the comments on the PlantFiles here on DG http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/74/ state that the majority of photos listed are more likely Crimson Rambler.

Here is a bloom I got from seed that were labeled Scarlett O'Hara . . . the bloom is solid, but it is not a true red, but more fuchia. Now, if it was more the color of yours, X, I'd be a happy camper!
