Almost open. I promoise not to use the water heater as the background when it fully opens.

I like the water heater background

Yes! Looks good so far. Is there a second bud? At least drop a black cloth over the heater next time!

 

[ncart]

Rick, yes there is a 2nd bud.

Originally, I bought a single growth plant with a bud. Since then, what it did was 'growing'. There are 6 growths now.
