Identify this non cp

Anyone know what this plant is:
Shrub to 3 feet with only main stems (no branching) from a rhizome 1-3 feet underground. Woody. Dying back in winter. "Fuzzy" leaves that are grey-ish, probibly due to hairs. Native to SE USA.
Flowers from April to May. All parts of flowers white. Flowers before it leafs. Bud consists of 3 sections and three large sepals come out. Petals small (to 0.5 inch) and the center section (pistil, stamens, etc) is a blacksh ball. The flowers hang downward. From the road or walking towards it looks like this bush has Sarracenia flowers that are white.
No visible roots, at least I could not find any. I am not sure about fruit.
 
I don't know what it is.I just thought I would reply since no one else was,lol.*Niki*

Wish I had a camera or scanner.
 
Go to Walgreens, or Wal-mart, if you must. Buy a little cheezy "party camera" , take the pix, and Walgreens or Wally will load the pix onto a CD for you. April
 
I figured out it is a "maypop" sorry I can't find the scientific name again.
 
that would be Passiflora incarnata(Passionflower with big white flowers and edible fruits which make a popping sound when they are squezed)
