Host plant for birdwings---Parastolochia seeds

Posted by nicemanpower (My Page) on

Do you ever think of raising the biggest buttefly in the world? At least I do.
I would like to raise some birdwings, especially Ornithoptera alexandrae, O. priamus, O. richmond, O. euphorion,etc. Thus, I must plant some Pararistolochia, a relative of pipevines.

Below are some parastolochia photos:

2. Pararistolochia deltantha:

Will somebody tell me how to buy Pararistolochia seeds?
