Sorry, I haven't had the time to take some decent pictures. I figured I would give you guys an update though. It seems to really love the spot that it's in. You'll notice that a bunch of the leaves are torn up. There was a really intense hail storm that hit the other week, but it seems to not have been bothered too much.

No, I think if it flowers, it will be closer to fall. It's gonna need more time for the roots to fill the bed I put it in. I don't live in a tropical climate, but it is subtropic, and the area that it is in has a higher humidity; so I can only hope for the best. Either way, I'm going to produce cuttings soon enough so it'll have some reward.
Also, it was asked previously but I live in zone 8b.

Here's a video I took of the hail storm that it went through:
It actually did better than I thought it would.

Hooooly shit thats like golf ball sized coming down. For some reason I thought you were aussie, thought it was cool we were in same usda zone, then saw the video haha.
also the internode distance seems to be awful large. i cant remember if its mostly in shade or part sun or what. the distance seems to get smaller as it grows more after the transplant but i can't tell.

Yeah some of the hail was actually just a little smaller than baseballs. The HBWR seems to stretch at points as though to reach a niche, and then put out several dense nods.

Don't expect rapid growth until it reaches about a year old. Mine is two years old now.
They start out at a very slow crawl.

Now I have tried questioning many places and no one can agree, so when I now realize there are some Argyreia nervosa specialists here, it may be I can get an answer! I got these seeds from a reputable German dealer -they specialize in cacti, but anyway- and they was be sold as Argyreia nervosa. I do not think they look like they Argyreia nervosa I've had in the past, but it is many years ago. I think they look more like Ololiuhqui. What do you say?

I'd have to agree with you there as well. They're Rivea corymbosa seeds.

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. There is some confusion about these seeds here in Europe. If you look at Erowid you can see that these seeds have been sold as HBWR several years so that people think it is HBWR.
