Dutchman's pipe?

Anyone ever hear of it before?

I have one large one or it was large until I cut it back last week It got too big and in the way in the greenhouse so I cut it back

Arptiger, it wouldn't happen to be aristolochia grandiflora would it? I hope you took cuttings to root. I have the native one, with the small flowers.

will someone PLEASE post a photo of theirs some time.Would love to see it.

Cal. I didn't know they bloomed until this winter and they put out long spikes and set real small white blooms Yes I kept all the cutings and put them in pots We see what happens to them

Mingsmimi here is a link http://www.plantoftheweek.org/week024.shtml

cala, thanks! Yep that is it. I thought I had seen one years ago. but wasn;t sure if that was a for real name of it or not. I think there is a Dutchmans Britches too????

Mingsmimi, yes they are in the dicentra family. They are a spring bloomer. Here is a link. http://jajhs.kana.k12.wv.us/vwv/plant/wildflower/dutchmansbreeches.htm

Mingsmimi, we grow it @ the Farm where I work. We can't grow enough, fast enough. We were discussing it today. Those Dutchman's Breeches look really interesting, also. Shape of the flower is kinda unusual, huh?

Mingmimi... they sell the seeds @ ebay, i see it all the time. before u decide, read the link... http://www.floridata.com/ref/a/aris_ele.cfm
