Ngaphambili, umbukeli wethulwa ngeqoqo eligxile kakhulu lama-Smaragd hop cones alenga kumabhine aqinile, awele. Lezi zigaxa ziwumthunzi omangalisayo wohlaza oluluhlaza okotshani, ama-bract awo agqagqene akha izendlalelo eziqinile, ezithambile ezifana namaphayini amancane. Ukwakheka okuyinkimbinkimbi kwembali ngayinye ye-hop kunikezwa ngokucacile okungavamile—umuntu angakwazi cishe ukubona imithambo emincane egijima kuma-bracts kanye namafleki amancane, asagolide wempushana ye-lupulin ejule phakathi. Izigaxa zibonakala zimazolo kancane, njengokungathi zithintwe inkungu yasekuseni ecolekileyo, ubuso bawo bubenyezela kancane ekukhanyeni kwelanga. Ukuthungwa okuthintekayo kwama-bracts kuyazwakala, kuvusa umuzwa wokuthinta kwawo okuyiphepha kodwa okuthambile. Ama-trichome azacile, acwebezelayo abamba ukukhanya okunjengemicu yengilazi encane, ebonisa amafutha anephunga elimnandi akuwo, aziswa kakhulu abaphisi botshwala ngenxa yekhono lawo lokunikeza ubhiya nephunga elimnandi.

Ngemva nje kwezigaxa ezingaphambili, indawo emaphakathi ivuleka ibe imigqa yamabhina e-hop akhuphuka ama-trellis amade, amahlamvu awo aluhlaza aminyene akha izindonga eziqondile zempilo. Amabhina ahlelwe ngemigqa ehlanzekile, ehambisanayo ehlanganayo ibheke endaweni eshabalalayo emaphakathi, inikeze isithombe ukujula okugxilile kanye nomuzwa wokubona odonsa iso enhliziyweni yegceke le-hop. Ukukhanya kwelanga kuhlunga emaqabunga awo, okwenza iphethini edabulile yokukhanya nesithunzi phansi. Amaqabunga ngokwawo abanzi futhi anwebe ngokujulile, indawo yawo inothile nge-chlorophyll, ebonisa ukugqama nokucishe kube luhlaza okotshani. Ukuhlangana kokukhanya nesithunzi kuwo wonke amahlamvu kwengeza ukuthungwa okuguquguqukayo nesigqi esibonakalayo, okuphakamisa umoya ohelezayo onyakazisa kancane i-canopy.

Amagquma agqanyiswe ukukhanya okulufifi, okusagolide okubonisa ukufudumala kwantambama ehlobo. Ngaphezu kwakho konke kukhona isibhakabhaka esiluhlaza esingenasici, sijula kancane sibheke phezulu, nokuncane okuncane nje kwamafu e-wispy cirrus eduze komkhathizwe, okugcizelela umuzwa wendawo evulekile nokuthula komfundisi.

Ukwakheka kufinyelela ibhalansi ehlakaniphile phakathi kokusondelana okunemininingwane nesikali esinwetshiwe.
