The 2nd photo (when turned so it is facing the right direction) shows fully erect seedpod pedicels which indicates Ipomoea hederifolia.

Ipomoea hederifolia and Ipomoea coccinea are visually very similar but genetically they have different chromosome counts and are chemo-taxonomically different...

Cypress vine has a star shaped bloom and a deeper red hue to the flower. See here: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/695...
