"broda ca lo nu co'a brode"

Your haiku translates to:

"Starting in spring
flower buds will blossom,
and so comes beauty.

Your haiku means the same as:

ca lo vensa ku
lo xrula co'a banro
ja'e lo nunmle

In spring
flowers begin to grow
and so comes beauty.

(I had to change "cifxrula" to "xrula" to keep the syllable count right)

Which is not bad either, but if you want "when spring begins", you need 
a combination of "co'a" and "ca", either as "ca lo nu co'a vensa cu 
broda" or as "ca lo vensa cu co'a broda". Of course this ruins your 
haiku's syllable count.

ca lo nu co'a vensa
cu banro fa lo xrula
ja'e lo nunmle

Here's a possible fix, though it's already quite different from the 
original, plus I really don't like the -cfa-:

lo nunvesycfa
cu jai co'a rulba'o
ja'e lo nunmle
