We have had quite a bit of rain, and so even indoors, it's rather humid. I have not watered them since I got them, because the lady who sold them to me said they had just been watered, and it is just now a week. The potting medium is not damp, but not dry, either. I'm hoping the buds will open, but I'm trying not to watch too close (you know, the watched pot that never boils) LOL. Will keep you posted.
