I have no idea what this is, can you help?

The 'flower' is 15cm tall, maybe some odd kind of pitcher plant?

Aristolochia?

Not a pitcher plant, not insectivorous. But presumably it relies on
flies for pollination.

It doesn't look remotely like convolvulus in any of those pics or any
I've ever seen; they don't have that large sac behind the trumpet which
you can see in the sideview

I think it's an Aristolochia. Do a Google image search to see if you think
so, too.

I think Emrys is going by the leaves. Of course, in plants the leaves
aren't usually the key character until you're trying to distinguish
between closely related species. What determines what plants have
descended from which is their sexual apparatus, which is of course the
flower. So the thing to focus on is the structure (rather than the
colour) of the flower.
