Okay, so it was really dinner among the sticks. But it was a nice warm 72 degrees here in Washington, DC — my first outside dinner of the year. The sticks look pretty much the same as they did yesterday. This is going to be like a reality TV show that moves really slowly, and you hope no one gets voted off/keels over from poor plant care. One of the sticks has a little green bud (it was there yesterday) so I took a better picture of it today. 
Despite this sign of planthood, I am still suspicious that these might just turn out to be sticks with roots.
Notes to self: I need to find some way of measuring the weather on my balcony.
