Vanilla flower, shoot or root?

Hi Everyone,

I had my Vanilla planifolia growing up a dead livistonia palm trunk but it was out growing it, I recently moved it over to what I affectionately call a 'coconut husk kebab' during the move I noticed that all 3 vines had severed their terrestrial roots yet all are absolutely powering.

I noticed these swollen buds a week or so after the move, it probably too early to tell but I figured I'd give it a shot. Does anyone think they are new lateral shoots or flower buds? I doubt they are aerial roots because they usually grow from the other side of the leaf base.

When I unwrapped them from the palm trunk the largest vine would be about 4m and the smallest is 2m. Their length is quite deceptive when wrapped around something.

Cheers guys,

Stacey.
