| Any moon vine experts? My vines are growing well and budding like crazy. However, when the buds are just about ready to flower, they peter out and wilt. I did prepare the beds with compost and a bloom booster before planting, but I'm not feeding them anything else. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. |

The problem is probably the heat. Moon vine tend to suffer from bud-abortion during the heat, but usually pick back up in the fall. Just keep your plants healthy and you should be rewarded with blooms when temps cool off. |

Thanks very much, Leslie. They've looked somewhat better the past couple days with the slightly cooler temps.
