Many natural phenomena occur in cycles. Seasonal wildlife changes are studied in the discipline of phenology. Phenology addresses, in particular, seasonal phenomena in plants. The life of many plants features a notable phenological phase, 'flowering'. Watching a flowering plant, you may observe several periods: the initial stage, mass flowering, end of flowering, and fruit set. To draw a phenological map of chestnut flowering we'll focus on the mass stage. It starts when most blooms have opened.
