florações
flowering


Explanation:
O tipo de floração e a época de floração variam nas diferentes cotas de altitude, razão porque os apicultores seguem rotas ascendentes/descendentes, procurando essas florações e percorrendo na maioria dos casos não mais de 50 km.

The type and season of flowering vary depending on altitude with the bee-keepers moving up and down the slopes and rarely covering a distance gratear than 50 km.

neutral  Valdelicio Silva: "blooming" However, it is possible to express the idea as "It is remarkable that it so happens that his/her garden blooms twice every year." Just make sure that the writer is using the pronoun "seu" for the 3rd person and not for the 2nd person.
