Wow! I lived in SoCal 5 yrs and don't remember ever visiting such a vibrant spot!

Thanks. The super blooms only happen after a lot of rain scattered over a few months in the late winter and early spring, and reach their best if it is not to hot and windy early in spring. This year there are super blooms all over the state, depening on terrain and elevation as to when they show their best.
