ID... well.. a partial one already..

I'd moved a plant inside last fall.. thinking it might continue to grow,, it was in my hallway ..with 24/7 plantlights.. and under a skylight.. everything got crispy.. but I kept a tiny bit of water comming.. then 1/2 way through the winter a bunch of morning glories started sproutng from it.. no flowers on them though.... I'd thought it was one of the passifloras.. in there... so I was a bit less than enthusiastic... on gettng them ready to go outsde I noticed a seed pod.. definately not a JMG seed pod.. and the plant was sproutng out and growng the thinest vines .. but nice heart shaped leaves.. which and kind of a muskey almost rotten smell when they were crushed..
OH.. Now I know... I must have brought my brazilian vine down... so part of the mystery was solved... but I couldn't remember which one I'd had last year.. does the smelly leaves give anyone any clues... was it a
Aristolochia gigantea.. can't remember... what the flower had looked like
seed pod

the leaf...

Could be A. gigantea whose foliage is more "aromatic" than A. elegans. Seed pods look very similar to each other.

I think Martha is correct.

yes.. thanks Martha / Kay.. it's such a strong grower.. I should rethink where I planted it... it's going to an overgrown by vines year.. with a few dozen large growng vines vieing for the champonship of the roof top cage fight..

Mine in Sept of last year.........what you can't see is that it reached the tree tops and jumped to the next ones
