The Common Guava Flower

These flowers are not only beautiful in their own right but also vital to the guava’s life cycle.The guava flower is typically white and delicate, with five soft petals and a center bursting with numerous long stamens tipped with yellow pollen. These stamens give the flower a fluffy, starburst-like appearance. The flowers bloom singly or in small clusters, often near the tips of young branches.The subtle fragrance of guava flowers attracts a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, making them an essential part of garden biodiversity.Guava flowers usually appear during the spring and summer, depending on the climate. In tropical and subtropical regions, guava trees may flower and fruit year-round, especially with proper care and watering.The blooming is a sign of an upcoming fruiting period once pollinated, the flowers begin to develop into the beloved guava fruit.
