Yep!!! It is definitely mealy bugs. In addition to the insecticidal soap, daily washings under the water hose, kitchen sink sprayer or whatever you have handy to wash it with will help to remove them from your plant. Again, I can't stress persistence as one of the keys to getting rid of this pest, because they are so persistent themselves. Additionally, you might want to isolate your plant from the rest of your plants to prevent spreading. Good Luck, Ms. Faith

Can you please tell me if you possibly still have any of these left? I don't have much to offer you to trade - perhaps some lamb's ears or mexican or juniper sedum? Thanks, Christina

Tom, thank you for sharing your growing experience. I've never had any suckers nor seed, as far as I know. I remember Sherry mentioning she also gets suckers on her vines and I 'think' she said she'd also never seen seed on her vines. My vines are planted in a raised bed. I enjoy trying new things so will winter sow some of these seed and will report back on the results. I know I've seen comments from forum members who look for sources of seed or vines in the spring when they're planting new host plants so perhaps this will be of help to someone. Since I began growing this vine, I've had Pipevine butterflies every year. One year I had so many little cats and adults I could witness at least one or two flitting about, nectar'ing on flowers, no matter how many times a day I went outside. That was the year the Pipevine cats completely stripped my patch of little white veined Dutchman's vines. They seem to prefer those vines (most likely because the leaves are smaller and softer) but one would need a very large area of them to feed very many cats to maturity. I noticed on one of the Florida native plants web site that they offer another variety of this vine, with no mention that the Pipevine butterfly WILL deposit eggs on these other vines but the little Pipevine cats will perish while feeding on them. Do you know if the Polydamas will deposit their eggs on this variety, Aristolochia tomentosa? If so, I'll only plant the Aristolochia tomentosa vine at my daughter's house in south Florida. I'll let you know how the seed do. Mary
