Is There A Death Valley Superbloom?- updated

Make sure you read all the comments for this post.

The Weather Network has an article and video reporting a superbloom in Death Valley. If anyone has been there please add your comments about what you are seeing.

Thursday, March 9, 2017, 4:16 – An unusually dense display of wildflowers has brought color and life to Death Valley National Park.

The video featured at the end of this article was captured by hikers on March 8. It shows a spectacular ‘super bloom’ of California poppies and Ceanothus flowers.

While numerous areas of Southern California are preparing for the super bloom, the largest growth is expected in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

Is it “Fake Wildflower News”?

    I dunno Sandy, this posting is rather confusing, but I think the video is from Anza Borrego, not Death Valley.  The Death Valley text is from 2016–?  K. Dowdakin

      Thanks for the input I am wondering if it would be better to take this post down or leave it up and keep reminding people that it may “fake wildflower news”

    That video was posted by the Death Valley National Park in February, 2016. You can find it at their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtML-frvIqBLNyyBKBgpO9Q So it’s definitely not from March 8, 2017. The article may be spot on, though, about great conditions at Anza-Borrego.

    By the way, I’ve been much enjoying your site and its reports of California wildflowers from all the various sources.
