the complexity of a flower

I'm not sure what this flower is, at first I thought it was passionfruit but it isn't, but whatever it is I think it must be one of the most complex flower designs I've ever seen.

Its very sculptural, with all its different parts and layers. Its also very colourful with its yellow and purple. I find it quite amazing that all this complexity of form and colour can be found on this small flower. My favourite part if the centre ring with its sun-like rays in three different colours.

I'm pretty sure it is a passionfruit flower. We used to have a vine and the flowers were amazing. I googled it and came up with one that looks just like that. Why'd you think it wasn't one?
