Hi,
It is a morning glory, the morning glory family is Concolvulaceae and all Convolvulaceae have this radially symetrical fused tube flower with flaring petal lobes with that thickened mid ray- have a look- can you see the thickened triangle in the middle of each petal?
cheers
Ash

Was it growing as a vine? because Morning Glory usually grows as a vine that covers sheds etc.
Great trunk,regardless what it is it should make a great bonsai.

i think the trunk line just screams "BONSAI ME!!!!"
work around the trunk and develop it from there...
