Hi Mauna. It looks like the Everglades morningglory (Ipomoea sagittata), but again, I can't see the leaves. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22pink%22+flower+%22everglades%22&tbm=isch&source=univ&client=avast&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjX7LOD-fHhAhVumuAKHeoaDuUQ7Al6BAgJEBE&biw=1366&bih=625#imgrc=qEFoqS9L3IwyLM: Whatever it is, it is pretty. Thanks for sharing it.
