Psidium Guajava Flower
Psidium guajava, commonly known as the common guava, yellow guava, lemon guava, or apple guava, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. When cultivated, it is primarily pollinated by the common honey bee, Apis mellifera, and easily by other insects.
The flowers of the Psidium guajava plant are white, lightly fragrant, and about 2.5 cm wide. They are composed of four to five white petals, 200 to 250 small white stamens, and four to five green sepals. The flowers grow on a hairy stalk that is 1 to 2.5 cm long and can be found either individually or in small clusters in the leaf axils.
The Psidium guajava plant primarily blooms in spring and summer, from September to February. Beautiful Psidium guajava flowers and buds were observed on a guava tree in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 10/04/2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
