When it rains, it blooms. Beneath Death Valley lies a massive seed bank of desert wildflowers, and when heavy winter rains soak deep into the soil, these hidden wonders spring to life. Some call this growing spree a "beautiful revolution against the tyranny of the desert," while others simply refer to it as a "superbloom."

I saw the 1995 superbloom, and the one in 2005. They were amazing, awe-inspiring events that changed my entire perception of Death Valley.

Just wait until Hurricane Hilary passes through there. I believe we are going to see a bloom and resurgence of life in Death Valley unlike anything we've ever seen before.

A super bloom is a rare phenomenon. When you are fortunate to see one, you are blessed and lucky. You will never forget. This bloom, which may take place every decade or so, is the ONLY time these species reproduce. Trampling, harvesting, and polluting them during this delicate reproductive window will deprive them of creating seeds; seeds which are uniquely adapted to drought, fire, and flood and found nowhere else on Earth. Stay on the trails, do not harvest, and become a warrior for these species which are under threat from many environmental hazards and invasive species. Most all, enjoy!! and take photos for us who can not be in California this year.

+Reece Crump Assuming you really want to know-Science Friday is a Public Radio program that airs on Friday afternoons. They also have a lot of additional, interactive stuff on their website-so it has grown into more than just a radio program. www.sciencefriday.com/listen/

120 degrees Fahrenheit? i'm sorry but i'm one of the 6.7 BILLION people on the planet who have no idea what that is. Also i'm pretty sure Dallol, Ethiopia is the hottest place on earth

+Ursh anabi In 2012 the World Meteorological Organization officially recognized Death Valley as the world's hottest place on earth with the highest temperature ever directly recorded: 134° F. Dallol, Ethiopia holds the record for having the highest average annual temperature ever recorded. From 1960 to 1966, Dallol averaged 94 degrees Fahrenheit (daytime temperatures regularly rose to over 100 degrees).

+Ursh anabi Fahrenheit is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), after whom the scale is named.[1] It uses the degree Fahrenheit (symbol °F) as the unit.

Nope Death Valley is the hottest. And just a few days ago, it hit 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Which is 54.4 Celsius.

You could have researched it online, thereby alleviating some of your confusion. When I forget the correlation between Fahrenheit and Celcius, that what I do. Example: convert 45C to degrees F. Easy.
