That’s not the flowers, you’ll know a flower when you see it. That’s just a new junction growing on that vine.

0 LikesNope, they want to find something to climb up or crawl across to maximize its surface area. You’ll probably see leaves and then some small prehensile vines all come from that node as the main vine continues growing that direction. You can tie them to a trellis or just let them take over the ground wherever they’re planted. I haven’t quite gotten to the fruit production stage for my gourds (same as melons and cucumbers) so I’m not sure if my pollination attempt did anything yet.
