Surprise, surprise - I have a Strictum. My first. I had no idea of the plant name. It was a NOID to me. Been watching this bud for a couple of weeks. Its on a plant that I discarded to the driveway flower bed a couple of years ago after buying it as a cutting. The branches started looking scaly, just not nice to have in the greenhouse. Open to the elements, heavy rain, drought, hurricane. It started putting out growth last year but even cuttings did not thrive.
This year there are five buds and this evening I'm walking the dog in the rain and there it is in the glow of the floodlight.
