Southern California’s unusually wet winter has primed the deserts for an above-average wildflower bloom, with Death Valley already showing its strongest display in years — though experts stop short of calling it a true “superbloom. ” Experts say the bloom in Death Valley National Park could be the strongest in a decade, with color expected to last into mid-to-late March at lower elevations along Badwater Road and Highway 190. “We are having an above-average bloom year,” the National Park Service said in an update posted on Sunday.
