Isithombe: I-Maple ebomvu engadini yasekwindla

Maphakathi nendawo yalesi silungiselelo sengadi esizolile kukhona i-Red Maple ebabazekayo (Acer rubrum), edonsa amehlo ngomqhele wayo oyindilinga ngokuphelele namahlamvu acwebezelayo avutha ngamandla elangabi elibomvu klebhu. Umbhede ominyene ugcwele amahlamvu amaningi, ngalinye lisikwe ngokucijile futhi ligcwele imibala ebomvu nebomvu, ahlanganiswe enze umbono wobukhazikhazi basekwindla obubonakala bufana nezwe elihlukile ngobuhle balo. Amahlamvu agqamile futhi afanayo kangangokuthi isihlahla sibonakala sikhazimula ngaphakathi, sikhipha imfudumalo ehluke kahle kumathoni ajulile esimaragidu otshani kanye nohlaza olumnyama oluthulile lwesihlahla esingemuva. Lokhu kuhlanganisa kuthuthukisa ubukhona obumangalisayo bemephu, kuyenze ibe indawo egxile kakhulu engenakuphikwa yokwakheka kwezwe.

Isiqu somuthi siyaphakama siqinile futhi siyazethemba emhlabeni, amagxolo aso anombala ofana nombala onsundu ngokumpunga onikeza isici esiphansi kulo mbukwane ovuthayo ngenhla. Isakhiwo samagatsha asithwe kancane amahlamvu aminyene kodwa aziveza ngobuqili ngendlela enhle asekela ngayo umbhede oyindilinga. Phansi, isihlahla senziwa uhlaka ngokuhlakazeka okuncane kwamaqabunga awile awela utshani obulungiswe kahle, okwakha umata okhazimulayo obomvu enanela ukunyakazisa phezulu. Lawa mahlamvu awile awawona amaphutha kodwa kunalokho abonakala sengathi abekwe ngokucophelela ngokwemvelo ngokwayo ukuze aqedele ukuvumelana kwendawo yesehlakalo, andise umthelela obonakalayo wesihlahla futhi adonsele amehlo ombukeli ngaphandle ngaphambi kokuba ajikelezise emuva ekukhazimuleni kombhede.

Ingadi ezungezile, nakuba ingabukelwa phansi ngamabomu, idlala indima ebalulekile ekuphakamiseni ubuhle bemephu. Izihlahla nezihlahla ezingemuva, ezifiphazwe ukujula futhi zithambe ngenxa yokukhanya kwemvelo, zakha ikhethini elinothile eliluhlaza elithuthukisa ukushuba komlilo womqhele wemephu. Amathoni awo amnyama nemibala ehlukahlukene kunikeza ibhalansi, iqinisekisa ukuthi ukwakheka akuzwakali kungaphezu kwamandla noma okungenziwanga, kodwa esikhundleni salokho kuyisithombe sangempela soshintsho lwesizini. Utshani obunakekelwa ngokucophelela, obucwebezelayo ngokucwebezela kwawo, buba yisiteji lapho imephu yenza umbukiso wayo, inikeze insimu enokuthula ehluke futhi efake ama-shades abomvu ngaphezulu.

Ifakwe emini ethambile, ehlukanisiwe, imibala yesihlahla ifinyelela ikhwalithi ecishe ibe pendandi, njengokungathi sonke isigcawu sibhulashelwe ekhanvasi yiciko elihlose ukuthwebula umongo odlulayo wekwindla. Akukho kukhanya kwelanga okuqinile, asikho isithunzi esimangalisayo sokugqabula iyunifomu—ukukhanya okuthambile kuphela okuvumela yonke imininingwane, kusukela emaphethelweni asongekile amahlamvu kuya kumthunzi ocashile ongaphakathi kwe-canopy, ukuthi yaziswe ngokugcwele. Ukukhanya akugcizeleli nje kuphela imibala ye-maple kodwa futhi kugcwalisa indawo ngokuzola okuzolile, ukuthula okukhanyayo okukhuluma nobuhle bemvelo boshintsho lwesizini.

I-Red Maple sekuyisikhathi eside ihlonishwa njengenye yezihlahla ezihlobisa kakhulu nezithandwa kakhulu ezingadini nezindawo, futhi lesi sithombe sihlanganisa ngokunembile ukuthi kungani ihlonishwa kangaka. Amahlamvu awo anjengomlilo afanekisela ukuphakama kwekwindla, leso sikhathi esibabayo lapho imvelo ivalelisa ukuchichima okuluhlaza kwasehlobo ngombala wokugcina, onothando. Lesi sihlahla, esimi ngokuziqhenya sigqoke izingubo zaso ezigcwele zesizini, sihlanganisa leso sikhathi soshintsho, sinikeza kokubili injabulo ebonakalayo kanye nesikhumbuzo esicashile semijikelezo yemvelo. Ngaphezu nje kwesitshalo engadini, iba umfanekiso ophilayo, uphawu lokukhuthazela olugxile ekujuleni komhlaba kuyilapho kugujwa ubuhle besikhashana obungenhla. Kulesi sigcawu, i-Red Maple ayigcini nje ngokuhlobisa ingadi—iyayichaza, iguqule ingxenye evamile yohlaza ibe yindawo emangalisayo nokuzindla enokuthula, lapho ubuciko bemvelo bungathakazelelwa futhi buthakaselwe ngokugcwele.
