After ‘El Nino’ there is usually a superbloom. Southern California has more of these overgrown wildflower spots than we in the Bay Area. I was wondering if succulents and cacti also experience a superbloom right now. The answer is ‘Yes!’

The Arizona Cactus Garden in Stanford is my favorite hidden gem. Once there, you’ll be transported to a desert like area, with lizards showing you the way. There are huge plants with a phallic like bloom that easily spans 10 feet and cute little ground covers.

A fuzzy cactus looks like a face with its little pink flowers. Succulents exude the most interesting flowers and colors.
You can find the Arizona Garden next to the Mausoleum on the Stanford campus.
Do you make the effort to see superblooms?
