I know I can just wait and see, but that's no fun. Any bets whether this is a bud or new growth on my strictum? What, if anything, distinguishes the two?
BTW, got some lovely epi oxy cuttings at the round-up -- lucky me! I've got plenty now to keep me out of trouble.
I'd say bud, but then, I'm the Eternal Optimist!
There are a few of them, Darius, but this is my first plant, so I wasn't sure. Pat did say it might bloom some more after the two that were on the plant when I bought it.
Also, I was comparing them to some other "things" coming out on my E. Ackermanii (sp?), which are prob. new growth since it's a new cutting. Trying to get a picture of that, too, but I need three hands and better eyes!
Always assume it's a bud until proven otherwise. That's my motto! :-)

kaperc, here's my e. ackermani from 2003, or maybe 2004.
oooh, nice! Got something to look forward to.
Something I wanted to ask you all -- is it common for plants to sometimes have three-sided stems?
Yes, my red epi does.
