Twinevine is white, but that is the closest match I can make for this vine flower. The butterfly is a Great Southern White.

Black mangrove (Avicennia germinans, Avicenniaceae)
Native
The three common mangroves found in coastal habitats are white mangrove (furthest inland), black mangrove, and red mangrove (furthest into water). Black mangrove puts up large numbers of stubs called pneumatophores that allow its roots to breathe when submerged (on right-hand side of upper left photo).
