By all accounts, the recent rains that fell on California after years of drought triggered an explosion of color as plants that have been dormant for years have burst out in a blaze of flowers.  You can see some pictures here at EarthSky.  But even more amazing is the image I saw today which showed the “super bloom” from a satellite.  Public Radio station KQED discussed the image below in their article at https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2017/04/10/heres-what-californias-wildflower-super-bloom-looks-like-from-space/.
