I tried tying one in place and it just over powered itself and came undone over night. I'll have to try again. This thing is getting out of control. every morning I wake up to a new side vine and I only have three stakes and they are not all 6 feet tall. I only have the one 6 footer and three other 16 inchers. I brought it on my back patio to see how it will do in 4 hours of sunlight. I noticed this(see pic, couldn't get a better pic) about 2 weeks ago, I thought it was a flower bud,but it hasn't done anything,then two more grew right next to it. It can't be buds because Moonvine buds are long and twisted. These are short and fat. I wonder if it's not growing healthy enough(it doesn't really look the best though it is my first time,scattered leaves,really thick on the bottom) But if I can get jus a few blooms I'll be very happy.
