I might have a Maudiae bud... what do you think?

Here's some more pics... definitely IS a bud



Now another question... this bud points towards the window (I only put it outside for the pic)... should I turn it to keep it growing straight, or is turning it a big no no

It's looking good, Rosie.

Rosie, my experience has been that when the bud starts, leave it in the same position until it is fully open, or the stem can get very twisted and odd looking. You might want to stake it to keep it straight. After it's fully open, turn it around, and enjoy it.

Thanks Bill & Kim,

I'll do what you say Kim and once it gets a bit taller I'll stake it, but keep it facing the same way.

Does anyone have any idea how long a bud like this is likely to take to open from this point?

[RosieC]

Well the bud has progressed a long way! I think it must be close to opening now!

I love the progress seen in the photos! It's looking very nice.

Awesome, Rosie! You're gonna love it.
