In October 2015, Death Valley National Park announced that a super bloom may be possible coming into February this year because of the autumn rainstorm, which was a key factor for the early sprouting of annual wildflowers seeds.
The park said the predicted El NiƱo weather pattern could bring regular rain throughout winter to keep the plants growing and blooming. The last super bloom occurred in February 2005.

The announcement in October 2015 was significant because Death Valley’s “super bloom” is a rare phenomenon. It happens only when the desert receives just the right amount of rainfall at the right time. greensky customer login
