L’intermission – Super Bloomin’

A somewhat rare natural phenomenon, the “super bloom” is an occurrence during which fields upon fields of flowers blossom in areas that are normally barren. The super bloom works in wondrous ways, growing where we least expect them. Whether in the torrid California desert or the Dead Sea plains, they don’t call them super for nothing!
