The Neelakurinji flower only blooms once every 12 years in India

"During August’s Kerala floods, more than 483 people died, tens of thousands were evacuated and more than 10,000km of roads were destroyed"

They weren't sure if they'd see the bloom this year.

"A rare honey
Perhaps even more elusive than Neelakurinji flowers is the honey derived from them, called Kurinjithen. The mass flowering attracts an increase in bees for pollination, which ultimately leads to this rare honey. Yet access to the honey is very complex, if not impossible; only the local tribesmen are allowed to collect it, and it hardly ever reaches the market, barring a few shops located deep in the Shola grasslands of the mountain valleys.

The locals believe this honey has medicinal properties that prevents heart blockages"
