Which species of Aristolochia ? : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3)

Since last two days I have been receiving  a post on WhatsApp along with photos of a flower बदकवेल ( in Marathi) i.e. Aristolochia. The post gives a reference of Marathi paper (Divya Marathi Bhaskar) and says that this flower has bloomed in the garden of Ms. Meenakshi Vani- Ex.President, Garden Club Jalgaon ( Maharashtra). I have searched for the species of this flower on web but none of the species from Aristolochia seemed to be of this shape and complete white in colour. The flower really looks unbelievable.

Can anyone help in identifying this ? Posting the photos of this flower.
By any chance can this be a fake post ?

Thanks … So at least these are true pictures and not like earlier “Narilatha” photos which were circulating on WhatsApp sometime back. But the shape is really unbelievable.

One more doubt as a layperson …! Do orchids grow as creepers also ?
