Count me as another who probably likes the buds as much or more than the flowers. The buds are all glossy and cool looking. The anticipation is half the fun. Some flowers can be awful messy dripping nectar all over the leaves and what ever is under the plant. I confess to having cut off a few blossoms after getting sick of the cleaning up. The H. lobbii pictured here opened all of its buds about an hour after taking this picture.
