Anonymous Coward User ID: 71521473 United Kingdom 02/24/2016 05:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to edition.cnn.com] Quoting: grumpier The desert valley hasn't seen this many blooms since 2005 because the area receives very little rain, with an annual average of 2 inches. Summer temperatures in the valley, which contains the lowest point in the United States, can sizzle to approximately 120 degrees Fahrenheit, with a nighttime low about 90 degrees. Death Valley's colorful flower blanket began budding due to a perfect combination of the elements: periodic rainfall, solar warmth and reduced winds. El Niño, a climate cycle, has also brought more rain than usual to the valley. The array of colorful flowers includes the pale white gravel ghost and the staple desert gold, which turns the valley floor into a sea of yellow. pictures inside the article looks nice!! Is it not time for some houses and streets there now we can live anywhere |

User ID: 476772 United States 02/16/2018 04:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Beautiful photos. Deserts are always amazing during the brief and often sudden blooming periods after rain...monochromatic vistas suddenly dotted with vibrant colors. And the cacti blooms don't look real, they look like wax flowers. Frankly, I've spent a lot of time in the desert, and I've never seen wildflowers like the ones in the photos. Mostly I've just seen cacti blooms. My sister used to live in Death Valley (she worked for the Park Services hospitality services as a cook). I just sent her the link to the story. She has some fun stories of life in the Valley...such as encounters with scorpions and some "supernatural" experiences. I don't think she ever experienced a superbloom.
