They're such beautiful plants, my brother grew one 20 or so years ago, it never flowered and went very tree like, he moved to uni and we had to plant it in the wilds. I've had a few friends with grows and when they bud they look especially captivating, thank you :)
Oh cool.. well it was a unique experience none the less sounds like.
Sure do, I love seeing them bud.. I look at them every day when they do :-)
