✦AI Summary
The rare Neelakurinji flowers are expected to bloom across several hills in Munnar, Kerala, this September and October. Experts are calling for better protection of these habitats as the blooming occurs outside of designated national parks, posing a risk from tourism.
The grasslands of the Munnar hills in Idukki will soon be painted violet, marking the arrival of another Neelakurinji flowering season. This year, the Neelakurinji is expected to bloom across the Chokramudy, Meeshapulimala, Edalimedu, Sevenmalai, and Gundumala hills in Munnar.
