Aristolochia grandiflora

Aristolochia grandiflora produces large solitary flowers from cordate leaf axils. Leaves can be up to 25 cm (9.8 in) wide.  Flowers are heart shaped: 10–20 cm (3.9–7.9 in) wide and have tails that are up to 60 cm (24 in). The flower is green/white with purple/brown veins. The center of the flower is darker colored, which attracts pollinators along with a distinctive odor to its reproductive elements. The flower has three sections, utricle, tube and limb, characteristic to all Aristolochiaceae.
