No not really, age doesn't count but size does, if that vine is P. edulis 
it'll have to get bigger (perhaps double).  The key is giving it as much 
heat and sun without wilting it (keep it just moist enough).  Flowering 
is usually on new growth that has buds apperaing on it before the leaves 
and tendrils mature.  Little three bracted buds.  The first flowers may 
be aborted or malformed but the later flowers will be ok.  Flowers last 
for only a day.
