kinda looks like ipomoea lacunosa or ipomoea triloba. Do you have any leaf pictures? Ipomoea lacunosa has the pink anthers like on your picture and that flower shape. (see ipomoea lacunosa here) http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/113781/index.html

The manner in which the filament base is curving toward the petals indicates that the filament is attached higher up on the petal base than is the case with an Ipomoea...this photo is a valuable reference ID photo because it shows the characteristic filament curvature indicating that the bloom is in the Merremia genus...

Thanks(!) Laurrie...
