Well this is what I think is a pre. Its to long for a flag so maybe we'll know next week.. I think Greenfin's (James) prediction was pretty close.. :^)

I think a week has done these pups well, jury is still out on the Mother's Pre. I don't think its a flag. Good things come to those that wait. On another note I think its time to pot up at least 2-3 of these bad-boys.. I can see the flag when I climb up and look down into the pre maybe next week we'll the flower come up.. :^)
