Passiflora Caerula. I used to have one in my front garden, (eventually around 12ft high), and the blooms lasted more than a day, but not very much longer.
But I have just been looking at this link and found it very interesting.

I was also looking at some high magnification stuff of the corona (the purple spikey bit).
Lumix LX5.
