Hi!
I am new here, and relatively new to brugs (not quite a couple years) and feel kind of out of my league here. So if this is old-hat to y'all please forgive me! But I have never seen a bud do this before! It's a Dr Seuss.

Is this an art nouveau bud or what! :-) The plant has about 6 of these going right now. It has never flowered before, and I have nursed it from a 3" cutting, so I'm really on pins & needles.

Anyway! I think this is just gorgeous. Thanks for letting me share!
