Once this record-breaking rainy season comes to a close, Californians might get to experience a spectacle that only happens when the right conditions are in place. California’s water-soaked soil has created ideal conditions for a superbloom of wildflowers, but experts warn it might not measure up to years past.
A superbloom is a rare botanical occurrence where dormant seeds of native wildflowers all sprout at the same time across California’s desert and grasslands. Different from the typical wildflower season, a superbloom transforms the region into a brilliant display of colors.
