In the dry season, from
December to April, the plants prepare for the flowers. When the first
tropical storm arrives, strong enough to water 8" (20cm) deep, the plant gets the power to build out the flowers.

Usually eight days after that
first rainfall, the white flowers pop out, usually all at one time. From
this time on, the plants need another 8 to 9 months, to bear the ripe
coffee cherries in time for picking in December and January. |

For a few days, a wonderful sight and aroma ...
like jasmine in the early morning hours ... spreads
itself throughout the farm. Insects
are attracted by the white
bloom splendor, in huge numbers. |

This spectacle is not predictable, and is a mad sight for coffee-interested tourists. So many insects fly all day long from bloom to bloom, causing
one to ask themselves where they all came from at once.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All plants do not come to the
same time, and sometimes a plant will bloom at the same time it
carries red and green cherries.
