Default Weird Flower

I have no idea what these things are. They're growing on a vine at my
sister's place and they just popped out in the past couple of days. The
vine is about 3 years old and it's never "flowered" before so this was a
total surprise.

The larger one in this picture measures about 19" from top to bottom and
about 14" in width.

Good detective work.

The referenced flower appears to be in the same family although smaller and
with different coloration.

Following a hint from Suzie I've found that this is a Aristolochia gigantea.
AKA Pelican Flower.
