Bob and Charly: Love the series and being able to see the stages of the flower.
However, even though the greens are lush, I think the comp is a bit busy. Not sure if all the buds are so enclosed by leaves at this stage, but it may help with the comp if you find one that stood out from the leaves a bit more
Looking forward to more of the series.

Looks very green and pokey. This is a neat look at the bud and all of it's details. I like your tight view and the position of the bud in the frame. My minor nit is the leaf coming in from the left that partially blocks the bud. I'd have gently bent that out of the way while I took the picture.
