California’s Anza-Borrego desert is experiencing a once-a-decade “super boom” of wildflowers for the second time in two years. After weeks of heavy rain and warm temperatures, the state park to the east of San Diego is now covered in swathes of purple, yellow and orange flowers including Bigelow’s monkeyflower, evening primrose, and desert lilies. It is believed that if caterpillars and freezing temperatures stay away, the wave of wildflowers could intensify and spread into other areas for months to come. If you can’t make it to the desert to see this spectacular floral phenomenon, then make sure to check it out here.
