typically my experience has been the fuzz balls develop one yr and flower buds develop the following year, or in some cases two yrs down the road.
Seems like a huge factor is winter temps low enough to trigger the bloom cycles.
mine typically develop flowers 2x yrly.

As for anything being called a "short spined T. peruvianus," well honestly I don't think it should be used at all as it really isn't a useful term, and in fact causes more confusion than anything. Any "short spined T. peruvianus" should be just known as a T. pachanoi.Several years back I acquired a dozen seedlings of supposedly T. peruvianus. As they've grown out, some most definitely have short spines (~2cm) while the others have ~5 cm spines. New spine growth is brown for both.

entheo-
what color are the new spines on the second plant?
I'd go along with Ace in thinking its not a trich, I've an inkling of what it is, if i can just remember!

fwiw, I've grown T spachianus for years in pots, and more recently (the last 3 years) with them in the ground, and can honestly say they do not flower in pots (at least for me!) but flower readily when planted in the ground. In ground they max out at slightly less than 2 meters. Growth rate seems slower than pach, stems rarely much bigger than 8-9 cm dia.

Does anybody know the name of this vine?
Does not appear to be a morning glory...

Acquired these three from a foaf several yrs ago & was led to believe they were fricci's.
All three have always been very pale green lime colored, the nipples one more so.
The two regular looking ones always flower a dark pink, one more so than the other.
Nipples has never flowered. All 3 are around 5 cm in dia.
All seed grown, never grafted.
Any ideas to their true identity / sub species?

hi!it doesn't look like catha to me either, and all catha should smell the way they smell, if you crush the leaves.
there are many catha look alikes around, but there is still a small chance it is a catha strain, we have never seen before.
this plant's leaves look a bit heart shaped, i have never seen this with catha.
there is one thing you can do though, to help id'ing this bush, the leaves of cathas (sideway) branches are positioned in a parallel fashion, like

your pic's all show alternate leaf formation, like only upwards growth of catha displays.
yep, post us a pic of the whole plant, than we can tell for sure!
So what's the deal on leaf branching? You're saying the leaf pattern is alternate for upward growth & parallel for lateral growth?
What sort of smell should one be looking for?
Now I was led to believe from a highly reputable source that this was a C.e.:
Your thoughts?
