I have never seen this type of flower before. In the night and morning, it is closed. As the day progresses, it opens in a very gorgeous and elaborate way. Can anyone identify the flower?

Here in GA, we call this a passion flower. Bees and butterflies really enjoy it. And the flower, with or without insects, is very photogenic. Blossoms in August-September.

Passion flower, but apparently doesn't produce passion fruit.

Nice capture! Great color. My wife has had them here, too, but she didn't know the name in English. Now she does! 😁
Cheers, Don

Passion flower. Here in Central Texas, I have them blooming all summer. Butterflies love them. They have the most intoxicating smell of any flower I know. Hence, its name. :>)
They ARE very invasive however.

Thanks for your comments. I have never seen such a flower in all my years. It did attract lots of bees and butterflies.
