Orange is lush: California's "super flowers" roared through the air.
This photo was provided by jim ross, an aerial photographer at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center. He took it on the T-34 plane on April 2nd. This photo shows the Antelope Valley in Southern California, which is full of wild flowers.
The eruption of color is an annual activity, and this year's humid winter in California makes the eruption more intense. When these flowers are as eye-catching as this year's exhibition, they are called "super flowering". The last drought season that led to California's super flowering was in 20 17.
The desert environment in Southern California may be a strange place for wild flowers, but the orange California poppy is very suitable for the hot environment. According to the US Forest Service, these plants bloom in spring, then hibernate in hot summer, leaving the top withered and living underground as the main root. [Photo: Sonoran Desert in full bloom]
NASA Armstrong's T-34 usually doesn't stop to smell the flowers; It is a training and mission support aircraft, often accompanied by research flights, in order to achieve safety and record purposes. But the Flight Research Center is located near the California Poppy Reserve in Antelope Valley, and Ross took these photos while flying with astronaut Rex Walheim, who is Armstrong's security and mission support director.
This bird's eye view is more impressive than that seen from space. In March this year, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States released a photo of wild flowers blooming in Anzaborego, desert park, which was taken by Landsat-8 satellite. 201March 3, 9, 13, from the earth orbit, these bright flowers blend with the desert, leaving only a faint color.
The imager on the satellite took this photo, showing the green landscape and wild flowers (light spots) around Anzaborego Desert National Park.
