'Super bloom' paints California deserts
The Southern California park is glowing with purple and yellow wildflowers across its 600,000 acres with the blooming of verbenas, desert sunflowers and dune primrose, with even more to come. The views are only expected to get better in the coming weeks as the California poppy comes into full bloom, painting the landscape orange.

California: Beautiful wildflowers fed by recent rains are painting Southern California's deserts in a wave of color. This year's so-called super bloom is shaping up to be among the best ever.
"My buddy told me that super bloom was going on," tourist Stephen Rawding said as he wandered around Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. "He said it was more beautiful than in 2017 so I came out here with a friend, my girlfriend, and we are checking it out. And it's unreal. It's just like they said. So, beautiful."

Steady rainfall over the past several months in the desert has created the optimal environment for the yearly bloom of flowers, allowing them to flourish even more than previous years.
