Oh, yeah, Hetty. It is really cool. The tip is less than 1/4" today! The leaves have a different shape. Visible now between the stalk and the upper small leaves are growths with stems. I think the buds, if I can ever identify one as a bud, will be up and down the upper portion of the stalk as well as at the tip. I don't do well with close-up photos, but I'll probably try in a day or two.
