They look fairly well on towards opening deb, the bottom ones will open first. I don't thik they will open in the next day or two, the buds usually start to show some colour for a while before opening.

L. centifolium has had coloured buds for days now, it takes at least a week to open from colouring and probably longer but that is here.

See the bud on the left, not a good pic but taken today, that stem has two buds which are both coloured up and puffed up. Another in the pot has two, one on the right behind has three. I took a pic on the 14th (as above) with the buds looking plump but not as big or coloured.
