I took the first photos above two days ago and I didn't see any buds....but when I scrolled up and looked at the photo showing the back of the leaves, there's a tiny bud way up at the top of the stem just starting to peek out. I've tried not to water that bed very much because we're trying to adhere to our voluntary restrictions. I hand watered very early yesterday morning, but not too much. I can't believe they would pop out in two days? They must have been there just waiting for a drink, and were too tiny for me to see. I just went back outside...and they are covered in teeny buds. I didn't plant this...I'm blaming the birds.
