Mystery vine seen in Costa Rica

Posted by ponderoni 7b New Westminster (My Page) on

Here is a picture of a vine I saw in Atenas, Costa Rica this past January. I do not know if it is indigenous to the area, though.

Does anyone know what it is?

(I tried uploading pics of the unripe and ripe seedpods, too, but can only upload one pic at a time, I guess.)

Many thanks.

It reminds me of Aristolochia, but also Nepenthes with the coloring.
Please post the other pictures separately. Do you have any photos of the foliage?

Thanks, Carol.

I threw together some pictures on Webshots.

I'm not high-tech savvy, so I hope this works.

It's an Aristolochia.
