Oh, I grow tomentosa, too! I have two of them but one grows faster than the other. I had to order mine special, too but it's worth it for the Pipevine STs. An odd thing I found out last year - I don't know if you have Long-Tailed Skippers in your area but they will lay eggs on Aristolochia tomentosa. I don't know why but I saw an article from UF where a lady had it happen and asked about it. The plants have a similar feel to a human, but I thought butterflies tasted the chemicals with their feet so you think they would know the difference. But I have to keep a lookout for Long-Tailed Skipper eggs and get them to the right host plant.
