California Goldfields and Soda Lake, Carrizo Plain National Monument, California

California goldfields (Lasthenia californica) grow up against a finger of Soda Lake during a superbloom in 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.
