Thank you for the responses. I may indeed have put it in too much sun, but we'll see. It's on the East side of the house, so I was thinking it wouldn't get too much of the afternoon heat, but I was working out there over the weekend and it did get pretty strong sun until about 3:00. I'm planting a shrub next to it though.

I did successfully transplant both plants and they are even putting out some new growth (See the little bit of green at the bottom of the pic?) so I know they're happy. It's kinda late for the new growth to be coming out, but we've had highs still in the 80's here, so they're confused. Wednesday it's supposed to approach 90! Hopefully they won't be damaged when it does finally get colder.

Instead of planting them on the birdcage this time, I put them on separate trellises. I wasn't sure where I wanted to put the birdcage when the time came to plant them. Now I kinda wish I had put them on it because they really were the perfect vine for it, but oh well.
