First buds on a seedling

Just before the New Year, I spotted buds on one of my Mammillaria albilanata plants grown from seed. It's now just about two and a half years old and still in a 2" pot, so I was surprised and extremely pleased.

Can you see them?





Of course, I went searching the other six babies but no sign of anything there. Still, it gives me hope and encouragement that I'm doing something right.

Guess who will be buying more seed early in 2007?
