"Experience the Spectacular Superbloom Across California and Arizona"

California is experiencing a rare "superbloom" of wildflowers due to a particularly wet past few months. Superblooms occur in a wet year that's come after several drier years, because wildflower seeds are waiting around in the ground for the right conditions to bloom. The California Department of Parks and Recreation expects this year's wildflower blooms to range from "good" to "better-than-average." Officials recommend those who venture into superbloom territory should check the forecast before they go, know their body's limits and respect the natural landscapes.
