I wish I knew what it was. My grandma's neighbor is growing it on a trellis and it's beautiful. I'll have to ask her, if I see her in the yard. My uncle knows a lot about plants and his best guess was that it was some sort of passiflora vine. The flowers don't look all that similar, but the flower pod before it blooms looks very much like a passion flower pod.

Mike-
It's called a Cup and Saucer vine or Cobaea Scanden. I love this website!
