Mojave Sun Cups and Lupine, Carrizo Plain National Monument, California

Mojave sun cups (Camissonia campestris) and lupine fill the basin below the Temblor Range during a superbloom in the Carrizo Plain National Monument, California. During superbloom years, an unusually high number of wildflowers blossom at the same time, usually the result of wet winter and spring weather. The seeds may have been dormant for years in the more typically dry desert soil.
