So after 3 summers of growing in a monster vine, my HBWR has grown its first flower buds. A couple of questions?
How many seeds does each flower usually produce? Because this vine is large enough to produce a lot of flowers, and it's got till at least the beginning of December to bloom, it should be at least that long before the temp gets anywhere near the 30s.
Has anyone ever worked with immature seeds, like with ipomoea? Perhaps they're stronger and cleaner as with morning glories. Either way I intend to try them like this.
Anyway, I'm really happy today and sort of emotional because I have an amazing connection with this plant, and I've been patiently waiting for so long for it to bloom. I really wasn't shore until today if these were actually reproductive structures it had grown, but this morning I noticed the first flower bud sticking out, so now i can be certain. I love this plant.
