For the first time since 2019, some of California’s rolling hillsides are bursting with dazzling colors as a vibrant superbloom of wildflowers, the product of an extremely wet winter, continues to unfold.
California’s winter featured torrential rainfall from beginning to end, helping to fill the state’s reservoirs and putting a major dent into the state's long-term drought conditions. The transition to spring has brought another positive effect to the Golden State, as a superbloom of wildflowers has residents and tourists alike rushing to get a glimpse of the gorgeous natural display.
A rare botanical occurrence, a superbloom, occurs when mass amounts of dormant seeds sprout at once following several drier years. The 2023 superbloom in the state has already drawn thousands of visitors, even in remote locations such as Cuyama, California. The remote agricultural region of Santa Barbara County has been experiencing a superbloom since late March, sprouting wildflowers like goldfield, tidy tips, fireweed and lupine.
The state flower of California, the California poppy, has also been blooming in April, enticing tourists to visit places such as Chino Hills State Park in the Los Angeles metro area.
