More information:

The Golden Chalice vine originates from the southern part of America, but can be found in gardens throughout the world due to its pretty appearance. It also has a narcotic effect, and it’s used by natural tribes. They called it “Kieli or Kieri”, which means “Plant of the God’s” and value it as magical aphrodisiac. It’s yellow, purple striped bloom is most impressive and can be up to 10 inches long. Their intensive fragrance reminds of coconuts and attracts moths and bats for pollination.
