please help identify - 2008/07/28 21:48 My husband and I are currently living a board our sailboat in Guatemala. We came across a very unusual plant that we have not seen in the last three years and have not been able to identify. The flower itself is at least as large as your hands cupped and has a very strong, bad odor.

Sounds like you and hubby are living the dream, eh?
Good for you!

The plant in question is Aristolochia grandiflora,
sometimes called "Pelican Flower".
It relies on flies for pollination, hence the "perfume".

I grow a slightly more civilized cousin of this vine as a container plant,
Aristolochia gigantea:
