誇らしい

My dictionary defines this as "proud, haughty, magnificent, splendid"

Is it used more in the negative or the positive sense?

For context, the sentence was "kona sutekina rin(?輪) sunide kureru sono koto o totemo hokorashii to omou"

from a blog, btw.

誇らしい is mostly used in a positive sense.

Sorry, I don't understand "rin sunide" part.

I can't make out what you mean by "sunide" either.
your kanji 輪 is in terms of a flower(one or single flower), I suppose.
Hokorashii as in terms of "would be proud (pleased).
