Once the petals of a flower are stimulated essential oils are released from their glands by hair-like structures or tubes. The results are beautiful beads of water accentuating an already beautiful specimen. Here is my geranium aka cranesbill. Do you have a flowershower?

By touching them. (there are also other parts of a plant that releases essential oils as well) Of course, in the case of my theme the stimulation is a result of raindrops tapping the delicate petals. Subsequently, releasing the plants' oil composition. The oil/water mix forms the beautiful beads. For me, the entire process is...very intriguing. :-) I hope this was helpful.
