    Default Bud or seed pod?

    This I found on my Lc Angel Heart 'Hihmanu'. It has never bloomed for me before .This spike is on new growth. I've never seen a flower bud quite like this , but it doesn't make sense that it would be a seed pod either. What do you say????

    Yup thats a bud
    Dont worry if the first time buds "do not look normal". I have seen quite a few strange buds with my plants too when it was their first time blooming.
    Give them a couple of seasons and they will get it right hehehe.

    Its just like people driving on the highway for the first time.
