Name: Catmint/Robin
PNW WA half hour south of Olym (Zone 8a)

It looks like Passiflora incarnata!
Maypop (Passiflora incarnata)

It does tend to be a robust grower:

I have P. caerulea ('Waterloo Blue'), but hope to get some P. incarnata soon. I have a lot of ugly fencing around my yard, and love the idea of having it covered with vines that are butterfly larval hosts, plus produce pretty blossoms *and* tasty fruit for the birds.

Here's my P. caerulea:
