It's very rare to have a good bloom in Death Valley. You always get flowers
somewhere in Death Valley almost every month of the year but to have a big
bloom like this which we hope will become a super bloom which is beyond all
your expectations that those are quite rare maybe once a decade or so.
I've lived in Death Valley for 25 years and I've seen lots of blooms lots of wild
flower blooms in Death Valley and I kept thinking I was seeing incredible blooms
I was always very excited until I saw one of these super blooms
and then I suddenly realized there are so many seeds out there just waiting to
sprout just waiting to grow I had no idea that there was that much out there
when you get the perfect conditions the perfect storm so to speak those seeds
can all sprout at once.
These areas that are normally just rock just soil just barren not even shrubs
they're filled with life so Death Valley really does go from being a valley of death to being
a valley of life. But that's so brief because it's not a permanent thing it's
just temporary it's here for a moment then it fades.
If you get a chance to see a bloom in Death Valley especially a super bloom
you should take the opportunity to see it because it could be a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You have to have just the perfect
conditions you never know when it's going to happen and you never know when
you're going to have the time to go out there so if it happens once a decade are
you going to be able to do that so it's a privilege to be able to be here and
see one of these blooms because very few people get to see it and it is incredible.
