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.
