I moved the Okawakame (a kind of Madeira vine) plant to the center of my side balcony and suspended some ropes for it to clime. The seeds near the base of the plant are starting to grow, so I expect rapid growth shortly.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I thought the seeds were roots (bottom right), but as I witnessed the growth of the vine, I learned that the strangely shaped seeds grow from the vine at the base of each leaf (center in a white oval). The seeds touching the ground are starting to root and grow new vines (top right).
