I was over at a friend's house and came across what I think is a member of the passionflower family:

However, I've been plowing through guides and I can't nail down the Latin name or find anything like this plant online.

That bloom is crazy. Could it perhaps be the fruit and not the flower?

Anyone got an idea what I found?

I actually had a datura pop up in my garden one year and went, "Whoa... what is that? It looks like something the devil planted!!!" Took me a while to track down what in the world it was. Apparently they're really poisonous, too, so not something I really wanted in my lettuces...
