It has heart-shaped leaves with purple veins on the bottom, climbs well, grows in hot dry NM with lots of watering, closes its leaves during the heat of the day, and grows several small purple flowers on a spike.
Help me identify a plant? Known as a jack vine?
Isn't that the Vine Jack climbed to the clouds and the palace of the giant? lol
Could it be a type of Dutchman's pipe?
"Aristolochia baetica
Portugese Hardy Dutchman's Pipe
Zone: 5-9
A woody-based, twining climber or rambling ground cover with small heart-shaped, pointed, glaucous gray-green leaves, abundant tubular purple funnel-shaped flowers and attractive longitudinally ribbed seed capsules. These blooms really look like an old-fashioned pipe. And like most Dutchman's Pipes, loved by Butterflies at various stages in their life!"
Soil: Well-drained
H: 8' W: 36"
B/M: Purple/ June-July
