The avocado tree is driving me batty... surely, but surely, these are flower buds on it? A few weeks ago I showed you these photos, and there was no question in my mind that my avocado tree was on the verge of flowering.
But there was just one comment, just one, that asked me if I was sure they were flower buds and not just new leaf buds... and it started up a little niggling uncertainty in my mind.
I look at them every single day, and with every single sighting I change my mind.
Today, I am convinced in favour of flower buds. 100% sure for the moment.
Do you think??

I have no idea...but I hope they are. Does that count?
I swapped a jar of lemon curd for a keyboard from my nephew. It took me a while to stop putting full stops instead of spaces. LOL....You were the only one who noticed...well, the only one who commented.
Hazel, it so counts. The majority of my garden functions on hope :)
And I did like the full stops. It somehow put a whole lot of meaning into your writing... I guess you were really only saying what was necessary!
Absolutely, totally flowers. But maybe I'm just saying that because I have some just like them :)
I googled it and it would appear ma'am that your avocado is flowering,congrats
I have no experience with growing Avocadoes, but I certainly think those look like flower buds. I expect it will be about another 6 months or something before they turn into fruit!
I was the "are you sure those are flower buds?" commenter on your first post. Now they look like they really are. Check out:

Ah yes, HelenB, you took me from conviction to doubt, and now back to conviction again! Thank you for the link - you are right, that's what my flowers look like!
Mark 6 months! And I thought the wait for the bananas was a long one...
JFH, thank you! I really hope I can get one to set... Ooo I would be happy!
500m2, I am convinced we actually have the same garden... we have all the same things, and all at the same stage!
Surely they're flowers..they have to be...don't they? :)
FLOWERS! CONGRATULATIONS! EEEK! Do they have a fragrance Ali?
