Kayjones, Possibly what you have are the two varieties of Aristolochia gigantea that are commonly available, the typical form (8-12 inch flowers) and the 'Brasiliensis' form, which is even larger. I've only seen the 'Brasiliensis' in photos, but both are incredible plants that are well worth growing. The typical form, at least, is easy for me to propagate, as long as bottom heat is used. Not sure if this applies to both, but for a day or so A. gigantea smells exactly like Lemon Pledge. What a cool plant. I had to give mine up due to a move. I thought I saw A. grandiflora at a nursery, but I went back to look at the plant (and possibly buy it). It had the white irregular flecks/spots on the leaves, which I believe are characteristic of A. gigantea. So perhaps that plant is mislabled. It is confusing, because both Aristolochia gigantea and Aristolochia grandiflora have specific names both starting in "g", and both essentially mean "huge". From what I gather A. grandiflora is less tolerant of cold, so it might be easier to find in South Florida. Here is a link that might be useful: My old A. gigantea, in a 2 gallon pot

I have a 15 bulb plant that was very sick. I put it under high grade fluorescent tubes in coconut husk/sponge rock mix (60%-40%)and have kept it moist. The plant is very, very happy and is putting out new growth all over the place. Its' growth seems to show this as a 'mounting' type of plant so I am going to remove a medium size division and mount it where it will get a daily shower. I'll keep you informed how this works out.
