This flower is growing off of a bush that is taking over my backyard and fence, I keep cutting it back and it grows back like a weed... I've asked many friends about it but i have gotten no answers to what kind of plant it is.... well here ya go...

Looks like you are going to need to find where the vine is rooted and chop it.
I wonder what that guy would think about some Round Up.

That first one looks like a scrotum - it should be terminated for that reason alone. That second one looks alot like some passion fruit vines I had planted in my backyard - our's were purple and were so pretty that at first I thought they were fake (in the store). Home Depot carried them at least they did last year - they aren't too hardy for temperatures below freezing, but they always came back in the spring - just had to start over from the ground up was all.

hrm.... Houston has Amazon like weather.... (200% humidity, 100 degrees).... I may just chop them all away since they're not growing in a place where many people can see it (some more random flowers that aren't as wild looking take the attention of people who really know plants and stuff because they're supposedly REALLY REALLY hard to grow and keep alive, but all I do is look at them and they come back every year looking great... I guess I should be happy since I rarely do anything to my backyard...)
