Thumbs down Where is the sun?

Taken at an orchid farm. But it's a morning glory right? I'm confused...
(Note to self: Don't quit your day job to be a botanist.)

The sky is a bit blown-out. :-(

Where is the sun?

Nice picture. But it is not morning glory. Those flowers grow on creepers (vines) or something like it. Let's look up what this flower is called. :-) And yeah don't quit your day job.

The flower is very similar to "Morning Glory" (Ipomea) but the furry looking stems and the leaf shapes make me think that it isn't one of those (see my collection of Ipomea shots for reference). Definitely not an orchid either.

Any chance you could ask the owner of the orchid farm?
