What are those lush vines with the HUGE tropical looking flowers on them?

I'm seeing all these dark green lush vining plants around ppl's homes which also have these huge (12 or more inches long) white tropical looking flowers! Any idea what they are?

Moonflowers?
Reply:Mandevillas have huge blooms. So do clematis.
Reply:Those are carnivorous plants. Keep small children and pets away from them.
Reply:Given the size of the bloom I am guessing White Wisteria or angel trumpet
Reply:Twelve inches sounds too big, but the rest of your identification fits the description of a moonflower. Do the flowers you are seeing open at night (moonflowers do)? If it is a moonflower, it is extremely fragrant.
Reply:if it only blooms in the evenings, it is moonflowers...they are


huge and smell wonderful
Reply:I think you are talking about clematis. It comes in lots of colors.
