Hi everyone,

Yes it's true! While watering her today, I saw three peduncles (see Dee's June Buds and Blooms thread for my pictures) and two of which look like they have buds! The two which I think have buds have the classic "fuzzy microphone" look to them. I will look over her again tomorrow to see how many peduncles she has but these I spotted today are absolutely new! I'm at a loss for words. This means a great deal to me in more ways than one. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for the buds. Then again, carnosas are tough as steel and I'm happy to give a cutting or two off of Nikki to my friends. Here's to you, Nikki, my dearest, sweetest friend. If these flowers are from you, thank you so much. Thanks to all of you for helping me with my plants and all the trades!
