‘Super bloom’ phenomenon draws sightseers to California city

Southern California’s hillsides have put on their most gorgeous garment, a robe composed of countless golden poppies.

A spectacular natural phenomenon is drawing crowds of sightseers to spots in California. Masses of flowers, known as a “super bloom”, have sprung from the arid soil, in some cases drawing such large crowds that local officials have had to temporarily turn people away.
