Death Valley’s largest superbloom since 2016 blooms after record rain, showcasing resilient wildflowers set to fade by April.

Death Valley National Park is seeing its largest superbloom since 2016, thanks to near-record rainfall over the past year, including the wettest November on record. The rare bloom, featuring golden sunflowers, purple phacelia, and other wildflowers, has transformed the desert’s barren landscape. Experts say the surge in plant life highlights the resilience of native species, though the flowers are short-lived, with lower areas expected to fade by mid-March and higher elevations lasting into April.
