This vine is so happy here even when it doesn't get a lot of rain. I don't have a name for it but if I did I would invest a few dollars to get more plants. Have you ever seen such a bloom on any of your vines?
Just thought I would ask since so many of you have knowledge about plants and things.

The flowers are beautiful. Take apicture and go to a nursery. Maybe they will tell you more about them.

It looks like it belongs to the Ipomoea class which comes in many colours.

@rebelann These type of flowers grow on creepers with heart shaped leaves.

The leaves on the vine in my yard are not heart shaped @allknowing

Looking at the other comments, I "thought" that maybe it would belong to the morning glory family shapewise -but here I've seen them mostly in that purple color. I see the purple ones everyone morning at my son's school on the fence!

They are a type of morning glory but the leaf looks really different. I'll have to go back and find the photo of the leaf for this flower. Sometimes my brain gets hicups and I don't include everything.
Dang, gettin old really stinks ..... just glad I can't smell it

Thanks anyway, it's not easy to identify some of these vines. I know it's part of the Morning Glory family but this one likes the hot dry climate we have which is why I'd like to know their botanical name, if I can find it.

I see that they have already been identified as Morning Glory. Very pretty little flowers

Yes, they really are pretty. Mom had them all along her fence in the front and boy did it look pretty when they would begin to bloom.

Could be it's too cold for them up there. Mom has had these plants growing along her front yard fence for years and when I got some of the seeds they sprouted here as well, they don't seem to mind the heat and drought and I from what I can figure they are in the same family as Morning Glories, I had hoped they were sweet potato but their leaves are different.

They look quite small and delicate.

Yes they are and they bloom most of the day as well which is odd for a morning glory especially in our heated summers.
