Tenuous Tendrilous Buds

So, I was pollinating a few flowers in Pergolatory after work today. I was heading back into the house, when I decided to check P. cirrhiflora. I had noticed a few days prior that they were a deeper darker green color than the rest of the vine. I noted this as unusual, and hoped that meant something big was coming...or rather, something small. It has been warm lately - in the mid 70's during the day; mid 60's tonight. Maybe?! maybe my hopes were coming true?

In fact, yes, there were tiny buds on the tendrils of one of the growing tips! They're very small. They're very delicate. I'm going to hold off on the pesticides because I've noticed that sometimes it will cause flower bud abortions. I'm going to be careful with the watering and feeding, and the rest is in the weather's hands. The forecast calls for sunshine and warmth, so I remain anxious and hopeful!
