    I see I never posted this diminutive cousin of Dutchman's pipe, Aristolochia tomentosa. It didn't seem all that exciting last July, but now I think the fuzzy fruits are very cute. Daniel Mosquin has posted flowers of Aristolochia manshuriensis and Aristolochia macrophylla in the Photographs forum.

    These photos were taken July 11. I'm not sure what that midsummer pole-looking thing is that it's climbing on.

    This is the fruit, photo taken September 7. This fruit is about 3cm long, or maybe a titch more.
