Don’t Call It a ‘Superbloom,’ But CA’s Blooms This Year Sure Seem Super
Manage episode 408319355 series 2097742
A drenching rainy season that isn’t over yet has given California another gift, besides a big snowpack and gnarly skiing: a “superbloom.” A superbloom is not a scientific term according to botanists, but this year’s bloom promises to deliver a spectacular display. Anza-Borrego Desert is already reaching its peak, the park currently awash in a carpet of desert sunflowers, dune primrose and dandelions. For many areas across the state, peak blooms are still ahead. We talk to superbloom explorers, experts and wildflower lovers about what to look out for and the best ways to experience this year’s bonanza.
Guests:
Radhika Thekkath, co-president, Santa Clara Valley chapter of the California Native Plant Society
Evan Meyer, botanist and executive director, nonprofit Theodore Payne Foundation
Dan McCamish, senior environmental scientist, Colorado Desert District, California State Parks
