Those who aren't familiar with this flower may think you boosted the saturation too much, but I have seen these with color this deep and vivid.  Nice capture.

Ipomea purpurea, I believe. The color is spot on. Sweet detail on these, Gigi. I especially like the focus down in the throat that you caught, and the lovely pastel background.cool

I like the composition and the BG a lot. 
One of my favourite flowers in the garden.

Gigi, the larger image is so stunning that it just looks unreal.  The light, the colors are incredible.
