Back to EpisodesWhere to See Wildflowers Blooming Near Las Vegas
Description
With all the rain this winter, the wildflower forecast is looking really good — but how good, exactly? Does this qualify as a superbloom year (and why do we care so much)? Host Sonja Cho Swanson talks with Dr. Naomi Fraga, Director of Conservation Programs at California Botanic Garden, about what makes a superbloom, the secret lives of seeds, and what the resilience of these seemingly-fragile flowers tells us about life in the desert. Plus: Dr. Fraga shares her insider tips for the best places to see wildflowers this spring.
Learn more about Dr. Fraga's wildflower tour in Death Valley this weekend (currently sold out, waitlist available).
