It is one of the several passiflora foetidas. Some are native to TX. I have one called Love in the Mist that has pale pink flowers and bright red fruit. Some foetidas are white, too. I wish the flowers would stay open longer.

Thanks, I wish they would too, but as soon as the sun hits them, they are gone, is that why????

Yes. All of the foetidas do that, I think. Some of the fruit are edible but tart.

WOW I've never seen 1 like that and I like to think I know my Passiflora's pretty well. The more I learn, the more I realize what I don't know out wieghs what I do know;)
Go figure.
Please keep the pics coming and let me know when you find out what it is for sure.
Thanks, JD
