As you can see we found these in the rain and as usual we were in a hurry to get to the next place that we braved the rain and took our photos under an umbrella.  One thing is for certain is that the rain drops do not seem to trigger the labellum.  In some shots there are large water droplets in and around the labellum.  So it's always a good time to take photos - however - I do prefer sunny and dry days!
