John I believe my plant is a bit more mature than yours. I am sure you will get more buds in the future. There were 9 buds last year. The terminal bud is actually 2 buds. What I don't like about this plant is the orientation of most of the flowers. They tend to open facing sideways. That pic was from last years blooming. I didn't check to see how many buds there are this year but I suspect about the same. I wish it would develop a second lead.
