Flowers on Mucuna Bennettii

Nuevo Arenal, Costa Rica(Zone 11)

I have 2 Mucuna bennettii vines but neither has flowered. They seem to be thriving and they are about 70 ft. long; both are 3 years old. Can anyone tell me how long these vines take to flower?

Sometimes the first one takes a while...maybe 2 - 3 years. They bloom on old wood. You could cut it back to a t least year old wood and maybe force the 'energy' to go into blooming.....

Lots of fertilizer.

I was just asking some friends if they had photos of both forms of Jade vine I could use. If you have a photo of the flowers of either the red or blue. I would be interested. I will give credit.for the pic thanks.
