This is Aristolochia gigantea aka "Giant Pelican Flower". I bought it as a tiny vine less then two months back, and despite it only being a few feet tall it already produced a flower. I'm hoping that as it ages, the size of the flower will increase. Oh, and it smells like rotting meat (awesome). Apparently, the vines attract flies to trap them overnight as a method of pollination.
