SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (KRON) -- Nature and landscape photographers are eagerly anticipating a rare "super bloom" this spring after more than a dozen atmospheric rivers. Californians slogged through months of drenching and destructive rainstorms this winter. Thanks to record-breaking rainfall, soil is fully saturated and Bay Area hillsides are bright emerald green. And once the sun has enough time to shine, splashes of vibrant orange, purple, yellow, and red colors will pop up in the form of wildflowers this April. California's biologically diverse landscapes are home to more than 7,000 species of native plants. While not a scientific term, "super bloom" describes a natural phenomenon when several species of wildflower seeds germinate and bloom flowers simultaneously.Hillsides and valleys were blanketed with vibrant colors during the Golden State's most recent "super bloom" of 2019 following a wet winter.
