Here's an update, btw; the 3 buds are now open! The first one is a bit larger than the other two, and they got kind of stuck against another sheath, but oh well, ahahah.
The fragrance has already kicked in and it's absolutely FANTASTIC - not quite the same as the semi-alba, which was a lot more intense and not as sweet (more citrus-y?), but I just love both anyway.
