I believe this is a Clématite. I used to have this flower in Guadeloupe (it is tropical) and the leaves are like an ivy climbing on the walls. Very interesting pattern. Too bad you could not get closer and avoid so much of the green leaves which distract our attention.

It is a vary appropriate flower for Easter, it is the Passion Flower. The various parts of the flowers represent different things.
The five sepals and five petals of the flower, which are similar in appearance, represent the disciples without Peter and Judas. The double row of colored filaments, known as the corona, signifies the halo around Christ's head or the crown of thorns. The five stamens and the three spreading styles with their flattened heads symbolize the wounds and the nails respectively. The vines tendrils resemble the whips used to scourge Christ.
