Aristolochia
A page of stock pictures of plants of the genus Aristolochia, which is made up of around 350 species, many of them evergreen or deciduous vines. Many are tender but others may be treated as perennials and left to regrow from the roots each year. The flowers are the most interesting feature of these plants. They are usually a reddish brown (the colour looks like rotting meat and attract pollinating flies) and composed of a bowl shaped structure on along stem. They are vigorous growers that usually have heart or kidney-shaped glossy leaves. The size of the leaves varies with the species.
