Moon Flower Vine. I grow them in a large planter on my balcony to climb a 
trellis I have over my bedroom window. The vine shades my bedroom from hot

southern exposure, the vines love it and the scent fills my livingroom and

bedroom in the evening.

USA, Northwest corner, Puget Sound region

I start my MFV seeds in homemade newspaper tubes. By the time they are
ready 
to be planted out the newspaper is kinda moldy (rigor compostis?) but the 
vine starts are healthy. I just make a hole and drop the tube in, doesn't 
disturb the young plant or it's roots and the tube decomposes
fast......and 
they are FREE!!

I now also use a small heating pad for bottom heat, they sprout in about
4-5 
days, twice as long or more without it. Once they come up I keep them on a

south facing window sill until I plant them out.

Yup, put the seds in a glass of water now and tomorrow you can pot them. 
Keep them in a nice warm place. You'll have MFV popping up in no time.

I just love these flowers! :)
