Aristolochia Species, Andalusian Dutchman's Pipe, Birthwort, Pipe Vine

I found this plant growing on wasteland close to Seville's river. It would appear to have the same growing habits as common bindweed and ...Read Morethe leave is not dissimilar. It was December 31st and the young plants were beginning to grow, temperature was about 60 F. there were not many seed pods left, but those that I collected seem to have viable seeds in them. I understand it to be very poisonous if eaten. It is a fascinating plant that I am hoping to be able to grow in the UK during the summer. The soil in which it was growing was undisturbed, and possibly quite poor in quality, although that's a guess, but in the same way that bindweed will happily cover other plants and what ever else it can prop itself on, I felt that this pipevine would be able to do the same. There was a good measure of shade where it was growing.
