California Super Bloom

California Is swooning over a heavenly super bloom of wildflowers.
To live in a state that includes three deserts and vast cities built in semiarid climes, a state where the intransigent politics of water are omnipresent, is to appreciate the wonder of a muddy desert wash and the profusion of color in a what is usually a brown landscape.  

The conditions necessary to transform millions of long-dormant seeds into an explosion of flowers generally occur about once a decade.
