Monsoon Magic - Fully open

The bud opens and the blossom helps some of the bees have their nectar. During the monsoon ,there are less flowers and hence diminished food supply for the bees. They depend on seasonal flowers like these (Indeed seasanoal since the flower closes again at 10 am to the bud stage and then reopens at 8pm)

This process ,it continues for 4 days and then the flower withers and falls into the pond and most often a new bud would have sprouted from the pond
