Akebia quinata

Female flower of the species. You can see the male flowers of a white-flowered / white-fruited cultivar here (Douglas has eloquently described these particular flowers in the comments for that photo, so I do recommend a visit to that page for more detail).

You can also see a photo of the fruit of Akebia quinata from a couple winters ago.
