Floral Monsoon

This year monsoon rains were truant for the most part of the season with exceptional humidity but still failed rains .Whereas Half of the july got some good downpour ,August didn't give drizzle . 

With a month left for monsoon season to take a back seat ,we expect some good rains now breaking the persistence humid atmostphere.

But there is a silver lining in it,since plants grew best in cloudy humid weather and give multiple blooms .
