*sigh*
Well there was hope, then it disappeared, then it came back again, and now its gone.
The first leaf died, a new one appeared on the other side, now it to has died back....I don't know what is going on...could chlorinated city water be an issue? I forget to water to much so I am in the process of getting a drip irrigation with the city water going. Used it a few times now...not sure they coincide totally but still suspicious...no idea why the new buds keep dying off...
