When most of us think of the desert, we imagine a dry stretch of land dusted with a few cacti and Joshua trees. Occasionally, you’ll see a pop of color, but for the most part, the desert lacks the lush foliage of a deciduous forest.<\/p>\n

Until now. For a few days this month, one of the hottest places on Earth will be flooded with wildflowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to National Geographic<\/a>, Death Valley has wildflower blooms every year. This year, however, the famous desert will feature a “super bloom,” triggered by the abnormally heavy storms that occurred in the fall. It will be the biggest bloom for Death Valley in over a decade.<\/p>\n

The plants\u00a0include the Desert Gold, Golden Evening Primrose, and Desert Five-spot varieties, which means a field of purple, pink, and yellow flowers. The video below captures some of the breathtaking imagery.<\/p>\n
