WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT WILDFLOWERS BLOOMING IN DEATH VALLEY?

Death Valley National Park is the hottest and driest place in North America and holds a world record for the hottest temperature ever recorded: 134 degrees Farenheit (57 degrees Celsius) on July 10, 1913. It's also home to the lowest elevation in North America, a place that's 282 feet below sea level called Badwater Basin. Every spring, some wildflowers do bloom before it gets scorching hot, but the abundance of flowers this year is extremely unusual and happens about once every decade.

The last time there was a bloom of this magnitude was in 2005, and the time before that was in 1998.

HOW LONG WILL THE WILDFLOWERS BLOOM?

The show won't last forever.

Most of the flowers will wither in the next few weeks as temperatures start to heat up.

Some flowers may still 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.
