Here's a pic from the side.

One thing that was mentioned in one of the articles was that some Aristolochia have "light windows" near the base of the flower. These windows attract the flies, who think they can escape. When they crawl around near the light windows, they pick up pollen from the anthers. If you look at the base of this flower right where the stem goes in, you can see the light windows. They will become less opaque on day 2.
