    Hopefully these buds will complete their mission to become flowers.

    I am sure they will, I like the leaves better though.
    Mine has just finished its flowering,sometimes can be a challenge to grow...well done, flowers will be opening soon.

    TY! But I can't really accept the praise for growing it well. It started as a cutting with more leaves. Though still alive about 2 yrs later, there's only 1 leaf left. I've enjoyed it well though, and hope I can help it to be more happy this spring, assuming it's not out of leaves by then.

    When it looks different enough to add an update, I will.
