Aristolochia gigantea June 18. 2004 |
I bought a small Aristolochia gigantea from Logees this Spring along with some more small Passionflowers and other little beauties. To my surprise this plant produced a flower within the first month in our greenhouse. And here is the plant now outside in its Summer place, growing and flowering happily. See below - a close up of the awesome flower, measuring ca. 8 X 6 inches The yellow entrance is about the size of a quarter. |
