Well, I am afraid flowers will take away energy from the leaves.
I remember yours blooming in the winter, it seemed to me that the plant was confused about the seasons, having come from Copacabana straight to winterland!
But them mine is native here, but the behaviour is similar to yours.
Weird.
Let's see.

Energy already consumed in the forming of the flower bud itself. Enjoy them, the tree has already "paid for them". I don't think these will hinder vigor in any way.

It looks much better than both of mine.
This thornless cultivar has been a pain to grow. Very poor ramification and the tree takes ages do send out some shoots.
Now both trees are bare, having dropped their leaves at the sign of the first chill.
