I have several of these vines in my backyard. It's called the Passion Vine. You might also see colorful orange butterflies around it - they are called Gulf Fritillaries and the Passion Vine is their host plant.
OH! Thank you! It also has this pod like "fruit" that appears later.I will have to look for the butterflies! Thanks!
