From the golden rolling hills of Southern California to the sun-drenched deserts of the Mojave Desert - including Antelope Valley, Chino Hills, Death Valley, and Anza-Borrego - California explodes into color with one of nature's most spectacular wildflower shows. Vast carpets of California poppies, waves of purple lupine, fragrant sand verbena and dune evening primrose, vibrant magenta owl's clover, fields of hillside daisy, and countless other native annuals transform the landscape into a 'superbloom' - an extraordinary, sometimes once-in-a-decade event so dense and vivid it can be seen from space. As one of the planet's true biodiversity hotspots, California hosts an astonishing variety of these spring ephemerals, and when the winter rains bring the right conditions, the result is a rare, breathtaking abundance that feels like a dream or an impressionist painting.
