I found this flower on a rather weedy looking vine in a neglected corner behind the back shed. What is it? (Ignore the wisteria)

It’s a pitcher plant of some sort for sure
Aristolochia elegans, Dutchman’s Pipe
It’s a weed, but a beautiful one. One of my favourite flowers regardless. I wouldn’t recommend keeping it though, and if you do, don’t let it seed, as it does so like crazy.

Aristolochia sp. a.k.a Dutchman’s Pipe. Beautiful flower but invasive.
Notorious butterfly killer Dutchman’s Pipe. Exterminate with extreme prejudice.

Damn feel like I needed a NSFW warning google imaging this flower 😅
