Wooooo Whoooo it started to rain at 8:55 pm. It came down hard for about 10 or so minutes then slowed a little. Now it's 9:38 pm and the rain is gone. It's nice and crispy now but not too crispy.
I know some of you have wished my area to get rain and it worked so now I'm wishing warm sunshine for your areas. Hope that sun was listening.
It was windy a few days ago when I tried to get another shot of the little orange wildflowers I get so I videoed it, can you see how small those flowers are?
These tiny flowers bloom every year even when we hardly get any rain. I have no idea what they're called but I thought I'd show you how small they are. My ha...

We also needed rain and we got rain. Now it's enough, let the sun come back now.
Those flowers are all beautiful. Wildflowers, also the very small ones are all beautiful. Those little flowers are of the Mallow family, native to Arizona (Desert Globemallow)

@rebelann They should be in gardens and not treated as wild flowers

Good that you got the rains.
Hopefully it would bring down the mercury for you.
Did it increase the humidity for you?
The flower in the video looks nice!

@rebelann
Yes, often rains during Summers increase the humidity.
Deserts are not conducive for flower growth.

Oh yay 
! The rain dance finally worked! I wish it rained like that all throughout the year (rain, break, rain, break). Lovely hollyhocks . . . all those colors 
! I wonder what that desert wildflower is . . . it's quite pretty !

@rebelann I really like those . . . so they are it's a wildflower bush that grows naturally like that ?
Right - we don't want too much water down here 
. It's always either too much or not enough . . . I hope Mother Nature finds a way to balance things again.

@ladyduck found it in her search, it's a Desert Globemallow. I have quite a few of these bush like plants around here.
I love it when it rains but I wouldn't want that to happen more than once a month, that's enough to keep all desert plants thriving

Beautiful flowers. With the heat and humidity here if it started raining I would do out to stand in the rain,

I do not know very much about that Calcutta but I have to ask is your rainy season over already?

We have rain all day long today.I think the orange wildflowers on the upper left of the photo is a sort of plant of mallow family (Malvaceae).

Rain is great unless it causes flooding then it can be a hassle.
