I bought this aristolochia 'gigantea' a few weeks ago and fertilized it with my special fertilizer and it started budding like crazy! I'll show you the development of the buds, which look like 'alien' coccoons to me, to the actual flowers. Common name is "Dutchman's Pipe" vine.
This is the flower that I pulled off the vine. It measures 26" x 14". The colors are more brilliant. My camera is so cheap and doesn't do the flower justice!!!

Enjoy,
