The weather has been extremely erratic for the past 1 to 2 months. And today, there were sudden bouts of heavy rain that poured down mercilessly throughout the day. It was sunny one moment & before we knew it, huge sheets of rainwater came pouring down on pedestrians.
I was extremely concerned with my poor "ginger" plants becox a heavy downpour throughout the day could prove to be detrimental when they had been taking in too much water. The poor plants definitely couldn't afford another blow when it had previously been overfertillised!
By the time we reached home in the evening, we were pleasantly surprised to see so many new flower buds being pushed out of the "scales" of the red "corns". I supposed the sunbirds who visit our plants every day would be most delighted with the outcome when the buds would be fully bloomed by tomorrow morning. It would mean food for them as they live on flower nectar.
Here comes the Group category of photographs taken during the night after a heavy rain throughout the entire day:

As the lighting is poor in the evening, these shots were taken with flashlight from my camera ... We sincerely hope that they would be a feast to your eyes!
Portraits of the plants (The Individual Category) :
I've decided to categorised these photographs under Group photos & Portraits otherwise, they might just come across as messy.
To end off this blogging entry for the day, we've decided to take a snapshot of a new addition to the "ginger" family. I felt that it looked really cute!
