One day a year is all you get.  If you miss that day you will have to wait for the following year.  This year the coffee blossoms lit up the farm on April 24th.  On this particular day the fields look as though a sprinkling of snow has fallen during the previous night.  When they wake in their splendor, the scent is overpowering.  The coffee blossoms emit a sweet honeysuckle-like fragrance which permeates the air.  By noon all the winged insects in the area have discovered them as well.  Bees and butterflies flicker and alight throughout the plantation pollinating the coffee for next year’s crop.
