A tiny promise the plant hasn't decided to keep yet.
means A small undeveloped growth on a plant that will become a leaf, flower, or shoot — or, by extension, anything in its early, unopened stage.
from From Middle English 'budde,' a knob or swelling on a plant. Its deeper roots are murky — it may be related to words meaning 'to swell' or 'to puff up,' which fits a bud's tight, straining little package. The slang 'bud' for friend is a separate, much later trim of 'buddy,' itself possibly a baby-talk worn-down form of 'brother.'
