Amaconsi eqhwa ayizitshalo ezinezimbali ezimhlophe. Zingama-bloomers entwasahlobo, okungukuthi izimbali zokuqala zonyaka omusha. Kukhona cishe izinhlobo ezingamashumi amabili ezihlukene, zonke ezibukeka zifana kakhulu. Igama lokuqala lesiGreki lisho "imbali yobisi".
Ezinhlotsheni ezingamashumi amabili, eyodwa kuphela emila lapha, okuyi-snowdrop yangempela.

Izinyosi zoju, izimvemvane, nezinye izinambuzane zithanda umpe nempova njengokudla kwazo kokuqala ekupheleni kobusika. Lokhu kuthulisa izimbali ukuze imbewu ikhule. Wonke akwi-capsule eyodwa.
Embewu, kune-appendage equkethe ushukela namafutha amaningi. Izintuthwane zinjalo. Ngakho-ke zivame ukuthwala imbewu ziye emigodini yazo. Badla isithako kodwa hhayi imbewu. Ngakho-ke ingakha i-snowdrop entsha uma isendaweni ekahle.
Amaconsi eqhwa angenye yezitshalo zethu zokuhlobisa. Azikhuli nje kuphela emvelweni kodwa futhi ziye zafuywa iminyaka engamakhulu amaningana. Ungawathenga emabhodweni. Kodwa futhi zisakazeka zodwa, ikakhulukazi emathuneni noma emasimini.
