The leaves can be mistaken for those of the catalpa. The very fragrant flowers, large and violet-blue in colour [14] are produced before the leaves in early spring, on panicles 10–30 centimetres (4–12 in) long, with a tubular purple corolla4–6 centimetres (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long resembling a foxglove flower.
Aristolochia grandiflora produces large solitary flowers from the axils of leaves. Leaves are cordate and can be up to 25 cm (9.8 in) wide. Flowers are heart shaped: 10–20 cm (3.9–7.9 in) wide and have tails that are up to 60 cm (24 in). The flower is green/white with purple/brown veins.
They have characteristic large, heart-shaped leaves, which in some species are three-lobed. The appearance of the leaves sometimes causes confusion with species such as the unrelated tung tree (Vernicia fordii) and Paulownia tomentosa. Catalpa species bear broad panicles of showy flowers, generally in summer. The flower colour generally is ...

It's an African native with large, pear-shaped leaves in a perfect medium green. “The older the tree and the more light it gets, the larger and more eye-catching the leaves become,” Hancock ...
The flowers are typically six or nine-petaled (two or three whorls of three petals each, the larger ones with a dime-sized purple blotch at the base). The flower has as many as 580 stamens [ 7 ] and is typically about sixteen inches (41 centimeters) wide, although there have been specimens as large as 21.5 inches (55 centimeters) in width.
The flowers are perched on a pedicel (i.e., flower stalk) raising them above the leaf whorl, and grow pinker as they age. [9] [10] The flowers' stigmas are slender, straight or mostly so, narrowing at the end. [6] The white petals are much longer than the green sepals. [6] The flowers have six stamens in two whorls of three, which persist after ...
It blooms in mid- to late spring, producing large yellow, solitary or paired, bell-shaped, pendent flowers. [2] The top parts of the plant tend to bend downward due to the weight of the leaves and flowers. The light green stems are round, glabrous, and glaucous and the leaves are perfoliate since the stem appears to come through the leaves at ...
