Super Bloom Hs

super bloom

fall rains soak deserts
 spring hills wear capes of bluebells ~
  baby-blue-eyes quilts

poppy crucible
 canyons cradle blue lupine ~
  flowers paint deserts

golden sunflowers
 super blooms like color wheels ~
  arias in pink

pale primrose runs free
 leaps like white popcorn flowers ~
  dormant seed surprise

serendipity
 spring epiphany

Every ten to fifteen years the Mojave Desert will produce a “super bloom” after heavy autumn rains.  The desert and hills are covered with poppies, popcorn flowers, lupine, baby-blue-eyes, bluebells, sunflowers.
