That's passiflora incarnata, aka maypop, a native passion flower with edible fruit (not quite a flavorful as the commercially-grown fruit from the tropics, but still quite nice). Their native range is from Central Texas up through the Ohio River Valley across to the East Coast. I have them growing happily (and spreading) in my yard, despite the fact that I'm technically west of its native range. Excellent tropicalesque plant to have.
