Speaking of vines - Dutchman's Pipe

13 years ago

The local RKO has this vine for sale, they are really out growing the containers they are in and are 40% off. Did a little reading awhile ago, and found out Dutchman's Pipe is a vigorous grower....and smells bad? A couple of other sites said not so.

Anyone here have this vine and what has been your experience?

heard they smell bad. But the one thing that struck me is how aggressive they are.

Have never noticed a bad smell around mine. They do grow quickly though.

I'm in zone 6 and have Aristolochia macrophylla, but the seeds aren't ripe yet; the seed pods are still green. I can save them for you if you want to send a SASE. Sorry but I don't need any seeds as I'm downsizing. I get Pipevine Swallowtail caterpillars on my pipevine every year and am raising some right now. Cathy

If you mean that you're looking for Aristolochia macrophylla, I'll have some as soon as the seed pods ripen but they're not dried out yet. It's the only thing I have from your want list. I'm not looking for anything, as I'm trying to downsize because of my back. I didn't know if you'd be interested in these for the postage.

I've always wondered about thhe smell/scent too. I gather they are pollinated by flies and usually things that are pollinated by flies have an ordor of rotting meat. I've never managed to find one in bloom so haven't been able to check it out myself. But they are also traditional 'porch vines' so that would seem to indicate that the smell, if there is a bad one, can't be very strong or last very long. So I'm also interested in hearing people's experience with them...

I have been trying to find this for years!! The lady across the street from my Aunt and Uncle's home had these to screen her porch, and I loved them!! Large heart shaped leaves. I too neither recall flowers, nor scent good bad or otherwise.

Nancy, I wish I could send you one because the RKO store has three left and they are BIG. Was up there today for birdseed and noticed them, but again forgot to check the price - think it's $10, but 40%off makes them around $6.

If I had a place for one I'd buy it.

I have one growing on the north side of the yard, it helps shade my shade garden and I find no bad smell or flies just lots of bees,if I don't watch it, it will take over every thing
