A “superbloom” of wildflowers is appearing across California this spring due to historic levels of rain that fell in some parts of the state amid a wild winter’s barrage of atmospheric river storms.
“Superblooms take place in some desert climates after unusually wet winters, when typically dormant seeds and plants wake up,” Mindy Sink wrote for the Denver Post. “The result, especially in California and Arizona, can be hillsides carpeted in color as thousands of flowers pop open around the same time.”
Photographers around the West are capturing stunning images of the blooms, from Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve in Lancaster to Carrizo Plain National Monument near Santa Margarita in California. A recommendation? Take your Instagram photos from the trail to avoid trampling the flowers.
