I have easy access to vines. I think there's probably 20 vines easilly
spotted from the roads around campus (Cal State Monterey Bay). The vines
here seemed to dry up totally by midsummer. I was in a native plant
rescue/rehabilitation program and one of our responsibilities was seed
collecting. We were up near Moss Landing and we were collecting the seeds
of this plant. Most of them had fallen or were still in their already
opened and dried seed pods by july. But i think I will let these dry up
and see how they do in fall. I may watch some of the vines near a secluded
part of the beach here (growing up into a eucalypt).
