Arizona's Super Bloom causing severe allergies.

Tucson is experiencing a "super bloom" of saguaros this year, thanks to well-spaced winter rains and cool nights that kept the cacti hydrated well into spring. The saguaros are now maturing into juicy fruit, and the Foothill Palo Verdes are also having a wonderful year. The increase in moisture and blooms could be a result of climate change, but Tucsonans are happy for any rain they can get. Expect to see vibrant red fruit around the fourth of July.

"Satellite captures stunning view of California's historic super bloom"

California's super bloom of wildflowers, following historic rains that ended the state's three-year drought, has been captured in satellite images released by Maxar Technologies and NASA. The images show a flood of vibrant orange, yellow, and green covering parts of Palmdale, Santa Margarita, and Carrizo Plain National Monument. The state went from the three driest years on record to the three wettest weeks on record when it was catapulted into its rainy season in January, according to Karla Nemeth, director of California Department of Water Resources.

"Satellite captures stunning California superbloom from above"

Historic rains in California during the winter months have led to a vibrant super bloom of wildflowers across the state, visible even from space. NASA recently released satellite images of the super bloom at Carrizo Plain National Monument, showing the open grassland dense with super blooms in hues of purple and yellow. Super blooms happen about once in a decade in a given area in California, but 2017 and 2019 proved that the phenomenon could happen at any time, and it's happening now.
