I have 2 wonderful lily plants at home and they only flower during the monsoons. These intelligent plants know the difference between rain water and that from the tap. It takes a mix of rain water and sunshine for them to flower.
I had to wait till August last year, as it almost rained non-stop in July and there wasn't even a slight hint of sunshine, but this year, I woke up to this lovely sight on June 17. The pink lily brightens the view from my kitchen, in complete contrast to the black grills and the silvery (yet depressing) scaffolding over the decayed building facing me.

I hope a healthy monsoon and some sun can convince my plants to give me an abundance of lilies this monsoon.
