A hot,dry desert may be the last place you'd think of to see colourful flowers.But thanks to last autumn's above-average rainfall,California's Death Valley National Park is experiencing a “super bloom” of wildflowers—a rare occurrence that happens just once every 10 years.

Death Valley holds the record for the highest reliably recorded temperature in the Western Hemisphere(半球),and its annual rainfall is just two inches—sometimes it gets no rain at all.But last year,the park got over three inches of rain during the first two weeks in October.The aboveaverage rainfall was enough to cause the growth of millions of wildflower seeds that have been sleeping for years.

What kind of flowers can you see in the desert?
The most abundant and eyecatching wildflower is the aptly named desert gold,a large,bright yellow bloom that looks like a daisy.The stems this year are growing to waist height,and the flowers cover entire hillsides and vast areas of the valley floor in the southern section of the park.Tourists can enjoy them in their cars.

Some of the other more common flowers include the deep purple phacelia;the desert fivespot,a delicate pink flower with five burgundy spots around its centre;the gravel ghost,a delicate white flower that appears to be floating above ground like a ghost because its stem is so thin that it's almost invisible;and various types of desert primrose.
How long will you be able to see the wildflowers bloom?
The show won't last forever.Most of the flowers will fade in the next few weeks as temperatures start to rise.Some flowers may be around as late as June at higher elevations,but those won't be as easy to see from a car and could require hiking.
