According to the Washington Post, “A wildflower superbloom is underway in the desert Southwest in March after seven inches of winter rain. Anza-Borrego State Park in California hasn’t experienced a bloom so prolific since at least 1999 according to park officials.”  AFAR says that a “super bloom” is a technical term which means an “overwhelming abundance”—as in the kind of naturally occurring wildflower spectacle you see once in your life. Because of the abundant rainfall in southeast California this winter, the desert is coming alive with a profusion of wildflowers that occurs only occasionally.  You can read more about it at the links below:
