Budding

I bought myself a teensy little leucospermum (pincushion protea) because I couldn't afford a "protea" protea - and besides they are both indigenous to the Western Cape. I have been watching it like a hawk and keep thinking it is getting buds when it is just new leaves, but this time I am pretty certain these must be flower buds. Can't wait to see them develop. This gardening lark is really quite exciting
They definitely look like buds - I look forward to the coming photos!

Not quite sure about these, my neighbour has a few and they just open up to be another set of small leaves. Hopes yours are flowers.

@narayani @ludwigsdiana @pusspup Still not sure if they are buds or new leaves so Diana might well be right? I will keep a close eye on them. I never took photos of the previous leaves as I suspected those were just leaves so I have nothing to compare with.

Ooohh I can’t wait to see what happens! Proteas are so exotic, I Think they’re amazing.

@beckyk365 well if Diana is right I might have nothing more to show than more leaves. It's hard to tell at the moment
