Each spring, a handful of hot spots in California light up with a colorful mass of wildflowers. On occasion, when conditions are right, there is an exceptionally dense and widespread bloom in these hot spots. We call this phenomena a superbloom. Typically Southern California is home to some of the most majestic superbloom displays throughout the state. Antelope Valley, located in the western Mojave desert, explodes with California Poppies and other wildflowers each spring.
