Wonderful pictures sir. Usha mam, its not easy to understand if they depend on rain or on summer heat. During summer plants tend to loose their energy and when it reaches towards the exhaustion just before that the plant put all strength to flower. Or, The plant almost dries up and when it gets monsoon showers then it rejuvinates by producing the flowers. In both cases, rain actually help in providing energy for the fruiting because all plants invest a lot of energy in producing fruits. This is my hypothesis. To understand this, one has to understand the extact time of flower initiation and not the time of flowering. Thanks and regards Pankaj
