well it seems for more than a few weeks now I have been watchin more new growths pop up...
one of the new growths is not a new growth but a spike with big buds poking out today.
hmmmm I think I just admitted I didn't know the difference in a spike and a nubbin on these cyms.
my 1st home grown cym spike golden elf!!!
I learned a new growth has separation at the top you can almost see the start of the leaves are like fingers. Where the spike on the cym starts seems to hold to true to the 'mitten' look where it is closed at the top and surrounds the buds inside
