DSC_0291.JPG Tropical White Morning-glory aka Moonflower (Ipomoea alba) per BD;
Bill mentions the leaves around the flower obviously not belonging to the flower, and later mentions the barely visible heart-shaped leaf in the lower right, with red petiole and red stem; see next picture 293, taken immediately after this picture.

Ok, I think the heart-shaped leaf in the background may belong to the white morning glory in the previous image. The vine is obviously sneaking through various plants and the flowers show off while the leaves hide. Meanwhile, I don't know what this yellow flower is.
Looking up primrose florida (bd suggestion) - primrose seems to give both ludwigia and oenothera genera.

... except for the large flowers... the leaves look the same, and the habitat is right.
