Lesi sithombe sokwakheka kwezwe sinokucaca okuphezulu sibonisa impilo ethokomele, esondelene echaza ngokubukeka iphrofayili yephunga lama-Elsaesser hops. Ngaphambili, iqoqo lezigaxa ze-hop lihlezi kahle endaweni yokhuni. Ama-bracts awo aluhlaza agqamile avuliwe, aveza ukuthungwa okuthambile kanye nezindlala eziphuzi ze-lupulin ezifiphele ngaphakathi. Izigaxa ziyahlukahluka ngobukhulu kanye nokuma kwazo, ezinye zimile kanti ezinye zihlezi, okwenza ukuhlelwa kwemvelo, okuphilayo okugcizelela ubuhle bawo obuthintekayo kanye namandla okuphunga.

Okunamathiselwe kuma-cones kuneziqu ezizacile namaqabunga amise okweqile, imithambo yawo ibonakala kahle futhi imiphetho igoqeke kancane. Ukukhanya—okuthambile nokusagolide—kuhluza kusuka kwesokudla, kuveza okuvelele okuthambile kumakhoni e-hop kanye nezithunzi ezicashile phezu kwetafula. Lokhu kukhanya okusabalele kuthuthukisa ukujula nokufudumala kwendawo, kumemela umbukeli esikhashanani sokuzindla ngokuthula.

Emhlabathini omaphakathi, ubhakha wengilazi ogcwele uketshezi oluhlanzekile, olunhlaka, ume kancane ungagxili. Ingaphezulu lalolu ketshezi liyanyakaza kancane, njengokungathi lisanda kunyakaziswa, lithwebula ingqikithi yama-hops ngendlela ebonakalayo. Umumo webhika ocijile nonqenqema oluncane lubamba ukukhanya, okudala ukubukeka okuphambene namathoni asemhlabeni wetafula lokhuni. I-amber hue yoketshezi ihambisana nokuluhlaza kwama-hops, okusikisela ukuguqulwa kwezithako zebhotanical eluhlaza zibe umkhiqizo wokwenza utshwala obucolisisiwe.

Ingemuva linetafula lokhuni elihambisana nesimo sezulu, amaphethini alo okusanhlamvu, ukuklwebheka, namafindo anezela ukuthungwa nobuqiniso. Ingaphezulu linombala onsundu ngokumnyama kanye nemizila ekhanyayo, futhi ukubukeka kwayo okudala kuphambana kahle nobusha bamahops nokucaca koketshezi. Ukujula kwenkundla kuqinisekisa ukuthi ukunaka kombukeli kuhlala kumakhoni e-hop kanye ne-beaker, kuyilapho ingemuva elilufifi kancane linikeza umongo nomkhathi.

Ukwakheka sekukonke kuyalingana futhi kuyavusa amadlingozi, namakhoni e-hop kwesokunxele kanye nebhika kwesokudla. Ukuhlangana kokwakheka—iqabunga, i-bract, ingilazi, nokhuni—okuhlanganiswe nokukhanya okufudumele nephalethi yombala womhlaba, kudala ukuzizwisa okunezinzwa eziningi. Isithombe simema ababukeli ukuthi bacabange ngezimbali ezicebile, eziyinkimbinkimbi zezinhlobonhlobo ze-Elsaesser: amanothi ayisisekelo asemhlabeni, amathoni ezimbali, kanye nokuphakanyiswa okucashile kwe-citrus.
