| I believe it is Aristolochia littoralis, Calico Flower (syn. A. elegans). Very nice! ~Rosemarie |

| Thanks Rosemarie. I'd been living in the house for 2 years before I found it, and was working on the passionfruit vine and found it entwined in the vine. This year it is all over town - so must like the current conditions - some rain, but not a lot. |
