Passiflora flowers. My family calls them the UFO plants.

Were the worms eating the berries? Silkworms eat mulberry leaves (exclusively? Almost exclusively?).

Water Caltrops (Trapa). I saw them at the Asian market.

Be careful with Trapa. They can become a serious invasive pest in many North American climates.

There are Passifloras from high and from low elevations. The high-elevation ones tend to have brilliant pink and red flowers, and will not survive high temperatures (regularly over 100 F / 38C.)

No worries, no intention of growing them (drought prone area). Saw them and I had to google it.

You can put a few in 6" / 15cm of soil in a 5 gallon / 21 liter bucket full of water. Same with the standard water chestnut you can buy in Chinatown.

Could they be trumpet flowers (Datura)?
