In our Community Garden, where the street end is landscaped, the Dutchman's pipe (variety gigantea) gets more coments than any other plant, when the garden is open for tours. I could have found homes for hundreds of cuttings, if I had had them. It was particularly interesting to school children and teachers.
It WILL climb up anything available, including oaks, and like an exuberant puppy, must be restrained.
According to this photo, this flower looks like Aristolochia gigantea braziliensis...not the standard gigantea. A. grandiflora has more of a yellow background and has a very long tail. Check out http://www.logees.com

Spectacular huge flowers that look like a turkey´s neck, formed only by a showy red calix with white spots and a yellow center. Some say that they don´t smell good, but I never sensed any smell from it
