Isithombe: I-Assorted Green ne-Golden-Green Hop Cones

Isithombe sibonisa ukuhlelwa kwempilo emile yamakhoni e-hop, aboniswa ngokucophelela ngokumelene nesizinda esimaphakathi se-beige. Ukwakheka kugqamisa amakhoni e-hop ayisikhombisa esewonke, kusukela kokusha, okuluhlaza okotshani kuya kumathunzi aluhlaza-sagolide ahlaba kancane, amele ukuhlukahluka okucashile kokuvuthwa ngaphandle kokuphambukela kokunsundu noma amathoni asemhlabeni ajulile ezigaba zakamuva. Ikhoni ngayinye ithwetshulwa ngokucacile okuphawulekayo, iveza ama-bracts ayo anezingqimba, anjengesikali ahlelwe ngokuzungeza okugqagqene. Ukuthungwa kwama-cones kokubili kuthambile futhi kuyinkimbinkimbi, kufana nomfanekiso wezitshalo owenziwe imvelo ngokwayo.

Maphakathi nendawo yokuqamba kumi ikhoni ende kumbala oshintshayo wohlaza othintwa ngokugqamile kwegolide. Ukwakheka kwayo okude kudonsa iso ngokwemvelo, kuyenze ibe indawo egxile ekuhleleni. Ezungezile, ama-cones amancane abekwe ema-engeli ahluke kancane, amanye aqondile, amanye aphumule ezinhlangothini zawo, okwenza umuzwa wesigqi nokunyakaza. Lolu hlelo lufinyelela ukulingana okubonakalayo, namakhoni ahluka ngosayizi kanye nethoni ukuze agweme ukulingana ngenkathi ezizwa evumelana.

Ukukhanya kuthambile futhi kusabalele, kuveza izithunzi ezithambile ezinikeza ukujula kumakhoni ngaphandle kokusiga isigcawu. Ukukhanya kuthuthukisa ukusha kwemvelo kwamacones, kuvumela ubuso bawo ukuba bukhazimule ngokukhanya okucashile. I-bract ngayinye ibamba ukukhanya ngokuhlukile ngokuhlukile, iveza imithambo emihle kanye nokwakhiwa okunezingqimba kwesakhiwo sekhoni ye-hop. Izithunzi zinikeza ukungafani okwanele ukuze kugcizelele ubukhulu obuthathu, okwenza izigaxa zibonakale zicishe zibambeke, njengokungathi umuntu angakwazi ukufinyelela futhi azicoshe.

Ukungabi bikho kwanoma yiziphi iziphazamiso zemvelo—inhlabathi, amaqabunga, noma imivini—kugxila ngokuphelele ezigabeni ngokwazo. Ingemuva eli-beige elimaphakathi lisebenza njengekhanvasi ebonakalayo, evumela okuluhlaza nokugqamile okusagolide ukuthi kugqame ekudlidlizeni kwakho okugcwele. Lokhu kulula kuphakamisa ama-cones kusuka ezintweni zezolimo kuya ezifundweni zokuthwebula izithombe eziqhubekayo.

Iphalethi yohlelo ibuswa uhlaza, kusukela kokukhanyayo nokukhanyayo kuya kokujulile nokugcwele, okufakwe uphawu lokuthintwa kokuphuzi-luhlaza emaphethelweni amanye ama-bracts. Lokhu kuhlukahluka kwemibala kusikisela ukusha nokunotha kwephunga elimnandi, okuvusa ukuhlotshaniswa nezimfanelo ze-hops ezilethwa ekuvuthweni: amanothi aphilayo, amakhambi, nancanyana anenhlaka. Ukuhlelwa okuhlanganisiwe kwama-cones kusikisela ngobuningi, kuyilapho ukuvezwa kwawo okuningiliziwe kugubha ukuhluka komuntu ngamunye—indlela ehlukile yokwenza nokuma kwekhoni ngayinye kwembulwa ngezindlela ezicashile kodwa ezibalulekile.

Sekukonke, isithombe sikhuluma ngesimo sokwazisa esizolile kanye nobuhle obuthule. Igqamisa ubuhle bama-hops hhayi nje njengesithako esibalulekile ekwenziweni kukabhiya kodwa njengezinhlobo zezitshalo ezihehayo ngokwazo. Ukuqanjwa kumema ababukeli ukuthi babhekisise, balandele amajika ama-bracts futhi bajabulele ukwehluka okungaphansi kweqembu lamakhoni okungahle kubonakale kufana ekuqaleni. Kokubili kuwucwaningo lwesayensi lwesakhiwo kanye nomsebenzi wobuciko obubonakalayo, okuhlanganisa ukucaca nokuvumelana kobuhle.
