Aristolochia littoralis --Elegant Dutchman's Pipe--
This one is a stunner! Relative to our white-veined, sometimes called A. elegans, vining climber to 15 feet, ground cover or arbor plant. Wild strands of multiple exotic blooms - called dutchman's pipe because they are said to resemble an old-fashioned meerschaum tobacco pipe. Root hardy in Central Texas. Needs mostly shade and plenty of water.
