While the world is dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, spring has made an impressive arrival.

This year's bloom is being live-streamed as park grounds remain closed since late March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A superbloom is an event when a large number of various wildflowers bloom at the same time due to a perfect blend of various weather conditions.

The spectacular view in this picture shows the beauty of the region, despite the park being temporarily closed for visitors.

NASA also wrote that “depending on the day or even hour, the orange patches may change in appearance. The poppies open their petals during sunny periods, appearing like a large blanket over the landscape. The flowers tend to close during windy, cold periods.”
