Isithombe: Ukuvalwa kwe-Vibrant Green Blato Hop Cones

Isithombe sibonisa ukubuka okuseduze kwamakhoni e-Blato hop (Humulus lupulus), athwetshulwe ngokugcizelela ukuthungwa kwawo okunempilo, ukwakheka kwawo, kanye nezinhlamvu zemvelo. Amakhoni e-hop amane ayabonakala esewonke, nakuba eyodwa kuphela egxile, ebukhali ngenkathi amanye efiphala kancane ngemuva, okunikela kumqondo wokujula nobukhulu. Ikhoni yangaphambili ithatha uhlangothi lwesokudla lohlaka futhi iyisihloko esimaphakathi sokwakheka. Ukwakheka kwawo kuningiliziwe ngokumangalisayo, kunesakhiwo esiyindilinga esakhiwe ngama-bracts athambile, agqagqene—amazenga afana ne-petal—ayaluza abheke phansi, afana nephayini encane noma i-artichoke. I-bract ngayinye inendawo ebushelelezi, enemithambo emincane, futhi ukukhanya kudlala kuwo wonke, kugqamisa ukugoba kwawo kwemvelo kanye nokwendlaleka okucashile. Umbala wazo oluhlaza ogqamile udlulisa ukusha nobungqabavu, uhlanganisa umnyombo wezitshalo eziphilayo lapho zifinyelela phezulu.

Amanye amakhoni, nakuba efiphazwe kancane ngenxa yokujula kwenkambu, agcina incazelo eyanele ukuze kutholwe umongo nokulinganisela ngaphakathi kohlaka. Elenga eziqwini ezizacile eziluhlaza, izigaxa zilenga ngokwemvelo, okugcizelela ubuqiniso bazo bezitshalo. Amaqabunga neziqu eziwaxhuma ohlelweni lwezitshalo ayabonakala kodwa ancishiswe ngamabomu, ukuze angaphazamisi indawo emaphakathi.

Ingemuva alithathi hlangothi ngamabomu, lakhiwe ithoni e-beige ethulisiwe nokufiphala okuthambile, okuyivelvety. Lesi sangemuva se-minimalist siqeda ukuphazamiseka, okuvumela iso ukuthi lihlale liqinile kuma-hops ngokwawo. Isikimu sombala ongathathi hlangothi sangemuva sithuthukisa ukushuba kwamakhoni aluhlaza, sidale ukungafani okuzwakalisa ukuzola nokuphoqelela okubonakalayo.

Ukukhanyisa kudlala indima ebalulekile emkhathini wesithombe. Ukukhanya kuthambile futhi kusabalele, akukhiqizi izithunzi ezinokhahlo, kodwa kunalokho kugeza ama-cones ngokucwebezelayo, okusagolide. Lokhu kufudumala okucashile kuveza umuzwa wokuzwana kwemvelo futhi kugcizelela ingqikithi yemvelo, esemhlabeni yohlobo lwe-Blato hop. Indlela yokukhanya ithuthukisa ukubukeka kwezinhlangothi ezintathu zama-bracts, idonsela ukunaka esakhiweni sawo esihle kanye nobunkimbinkimbi obunezingqimba befomu lekhoni.

Umbono okhethwe umthwebuli wezithombe wethula umbono obheke kancane. Lokhu kutsheka kuletha amandla ekwakhiweni futhi kuthuthukisa umbono onezinhlangothi ezintathu zesihloko, njengokungathi ikhoni ifinyelela ngaphandle isibukeli. Le engeli, ehambisana nokugxila okungajulile, ikhiqiza umuzwa wokusondelana nokushesha, njengokungathi umuntu obukele umi ngamasentimitha nje ukusuka kuma-hops. Imema umbukeli ukuba angagcini nje ukwazisa indima yawo ekukhiqizeni isiko kodwa futhi nobuhle bawo bemvelo bezitshalo, obungavamile ukubonwa ngendlela ecace kangaka.

Sekukonke, isithombe sikhuluma ngokunemba kwesayensi nokwazisa kobuciko. Ithwebula amacones e-Blato hop hhayi nje njengomkhiqizo wezolimo, kodwa njengezinto zobuciko bemvelo-i-bract ngayinye inobuciko obuncane besimo nomsebenzi. Isithombe sihambisana nezimfanelo zemfudumalo, ubusha, nobuqiniso bezinto eziphilayo, sibungaza ubuhle besitshalo esithobekile ngesithunzi esithulile.
