Does this sheath have a bud? *MINI*
 
I hope this picture is good enough to tell from, but this sheath in this Mini Catt looks kinda full to me. So I thought maybe its got a bud??:banana:

if it is a sheath the sheath will start to split and you can see buds in there

Take the plant into a darkened room and shine a flashlight thru the back of the sheath and you can see the buds inside. It's like candling an egg.:pray: for buds

I was gonna suggest the same thing Tess but I think Tin has that mounted in her viv. You'll know soon enough though Tin.

Looks like a bud bump about half way up the sheath....you'll know soon enough. They grow fast once initiated. Nice healthy looking plant!!!!! Can you feel a swelling at the base of the sheath? DON'T squeeze it though. You should be able to feel if there are buds developing.

Looks like a bud to me, can't wait to see what it looks like.

Hey everyone.
The picture didn't show it too good even though I didn't use a flash. The sheath has a bulge in it that gives off a dark shadow.
Oh and for the record, I'm a guy :) :lol:

Here is a better picture.

What do you think? There is a prominent shadow in there.
