Candy, if I could reach through the screen and hug you I would!!!!!! I just got a wonderful little shock when I went outside a while ago (had to make dinner for the kids so I couldn't rush in here and post right away). In any case, my one lonely little bud now has company. I spotted 6 clear baby itsy bitsy buds on the same stem as the original bud. So I scoured the plant and I counted SIXTY FIVE definite buds (albeit really itsy bitsy ones about a millimeter long each) and a several more pinkish bumps that I'm gonna keep my eye on to see if they'll develop into buds too.

And, why, might you ask, do I want to hug YOU? Well, because YOU were the one to tell me about and explain to me about and patiently walk me through the steps of FISH EMULSION! So I am crediting YOU for all these lovely little buds! Thank you thank you thank you thank you! I might have gotten a few buds without it, but I'm certain I wouldn't have gotten more than a fraction of what I've got here if it hadn't been for your help.

I'm soooo excited! I can hardly sit still! LOL

here's a pic of the end of one stem....all of the stems save one are like this almost from top to bottom!
