      Specifically Passiflora caerulea, or blue passion flower, which is one of the few, if not the only, that can grow as a perrenial where I live in The Netherlands. Sadly the fruits from species aren’t that tasty.

      Passion flower. Harvest the seeds when ready and plant your own next year.

      I was so surprised the first time I saw one of these. So pretty and unique!

      Passion fruit flower. If you live in a warm place that may turn into a passion fruit (takes about 4-6mos.). I suggest you keep an eye on it and cut branches as needed, they will strangle other plants with their tendrils.

      Passionflower. Host plant for the Gulf fritillary butterfly. We plant oodles of them for the caterpillars/butterflies. The flowers are even more gorgeous in person.

      These flowers are really common in a lot of tropical places. Found them in the Philippines while visiting this amazing country. 👍🏽♥️

      Passion flower, Passiflora species. As another commenter noted, probably Passiflora caerulea. It is similar in appearance to Passiflora incarnata, which is native to North America and is the hardiest of the passion vines. I have incarnata in my yard in NE Ohio which is the northern edge of its range. Here it comes up late and almost never ripens fruit but continues to come up every year. Caerulea is native to South America and has become established in Southern California and may be planted elsewhere. They are beautiful flowers.

      What nobody else seems to be able to tell you is the ORIGIN of this amazing flower and what it symbolizes and represents. Allow me:

      The Passion Flower, with its various parts, is seen as a symbol of Jesus’ scourging, crowning with thorns and crucifixion.
      This flower, a genus with numerous species, indigenous to the tropical Americas, is unique among the hundreds of old Christian flower symbols in that there is specific historical documentation of the time and place of its origin – the symbolism having been first perceived by the Mexican Augustinian friar, Emmanuel de Villegas, who reported it, with sketches, in Europe in 1610.

      The Passion Flower symbolism, as originally perceived, and then augmented, includes:
      The spiraled tendrils – the lash of Christ’s scourging
      The central flower column – the pillar of the scourging
      The 72 radial filaments – the Crown of Thorns
      The top 3 stigma – the 3 nails
      The lower 5 anthers – the 5 wounds
      The Style – the sponge used to moisten Christ’s lips with vinegar
      The leaves (some species) – the head of the Centurion’s Spear
      The red stains – Christ’s blood drops
      The Round Fruit – The world Christ came to save
      The Fragrance – The spices prepared by the holy women

      Now you know the name of the flower AND a bit of its history and symbolism. 😊

      Passiflora incarnata and Passiflora lutea are native to my region. I have both, and they’re blooming right now also. (OP’s is not native to the US.)

      My brother calls them Maypops. I remember that from when I was a child. I told him they were passion flowers and we were both correct

      Oh I do love the passion flowers, they smell amazing and have medicinal properties.
