Your first picture is a passion flower. They are truly a beautiful example of the floral world. There are now two basic kinds. The wild variety and the domestic. The wild ones can be pretty invasive. The domestic can be found in a variety of color combos and if you want to grow them in your yard they are not so prone to take over.
