Please help me identify this one. Moonflower perhaps? SwFlorida, wild vine. Most Leaves heart-shaped, some are like a sweet-potato... Vine travels 40-50 ft! Flowers trumpet like, 4" deep, 3½" diameter. No smell. Night blooming.

Thank you Silversurfer! That looks the right identification. Took some photos at dusk (others were at dawn) last night. Flower was 90mm (3½") in diameter.
