The deserts of southern California erupted in color last weekend as a carpet of purple sand verbena, white dune evening primroses, orange poppies and other wildflowers emerged in a super bloom that one ranger called “flower-geddon.”

“This kind of huge bloom happens maybe once a decade,” says Jim Dice, research manager at the Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center who hasn’t seen so spectacular a bloom since 2005.

Spring made an exuberant entrance after an unusually wet winter and consistent rainfall through 2016 after a five-year drought. Much of Southern California teems with flowers, but the 630,000-acre Anza-Borrego State Park is alive with color. The nearby community of Borrego Springs more than doubled in size as 5,000 people poured into the area on Saturday, an influx that filled motels, prompted the sheriff to close miles of road.

It's amazing how nature takes care of herself. Seeds go dormant waiting for water and pop into beutiful scenery. Leaving seeds for the next cycle.

All the mountains around us are all green, Thank God no fire danger in the future. More rain coming next week. This has been the wettest winter we have had in many years, and seems like our drought is finally over.
