Belleara early bloom?

[dbarron]

I have a Bllra. Big Shot 'Pink Panther' that I acquired in August from Hausermann. It arrived as a small plant with a 4 PB train, though the smallest may well have been the original. It's only in a 2 1/2 inch pot and looks like it will stay there for another PB at least.
I got the accursed accordion pleat on the newest PB from letting it go just a bit longer than I should watering in the first month. It's rather slight (thank gods, because I've been known to throw milts away when I let them get pleated...it's like some horrible accusation of neglect)). I should go take a photo so the question has more data. I swear it looks bigger in the photo. And, I see the stains from letting the bark water run down the bathtub wall (please don't see that).
The surprise was I when I was inspecting it this morning, I noticed a stalk down in the leaf axil. It seems too small to bear flowers (imo). Should I tweeze it and abort, or let it go?
