Looking closer at the growing tip of the main vine you can see the small female bud but it hasn't really changed or grown in the past few days. Where there should be lush green growth is desiccation and poor colour. It's been very hot and dry for ages and many (but not all) ends of the secondaries are showing similar signs of distress. The main body of the plant is OK, it's just the growing tips on the youngest vines that are suffering. So I might need to think twice about pollinating this one, and perhaps use a side vine instead. But which one?
