Answer 2

Purple bell vine, maybe?  I know they have large heart-shaped leaves and can have dark purple blooms.

My guesses:

Rhodochiton atrosanguinea (purple bells)

Aristolochia (many different ones, see picture at bottom of link)

If you want to post a picture, get a free photo sharing account (like flickr or photobucket). Upload the photo there, then edit your question to include the direct link to the photo. :)

Thanks.
