Record Rainfall Spawns Massive Wildflower 'Superbloom' Across California

Months of heavy rainfall have resulted in a rare wildflower superbloom across California.
The vibrant displays include poppies, verbena, sunflowers, and lilies spanning thousands of acres.
Crowds of tourists and photographers seeking to capture the scenic wonder have inundated some destinations, forcing closures and warnings of citations and arrests for those not following rules.
While some areas remain open and ideal for viewing the fleeting spectacular bloom, visitors are advised to exercise caution and respect the fragile landscapes.
