This little brug has truly become my buddie! It survived my cat Skeeter eating it's tiny little "just germinated" head. It survived me cutting it's second head off in a mite experiment. This picture was it's first bud a couple of weeks ago. Dadburn it ... we had a heavy rain that knocked it off. I opened it and it was a 6 pointer. It's very first flower was a six pointer. Cool! This brug has some real character already due to its small more rounded than normal leaves .
Right now I have about 15 buds in all different sizes. The buds are short and chubby. I'm thinking this one will have small flowers. And they will be pink. (KEEPING FINGERS CROSSED)
Unfortunately I don't remember the cross. When Skeeter ate it I did not intend to keep this plant and I threw the cross away. It is a Mary Haik cross that includes either Butterfly or Ecuador Pink.

I'm so glad I kept this one. I've learned alot from the experience. And I'm so looking forward to these flowers!!!!!!!! .... yippee!
