Despite some initial doubt, the super bloom is back. Which means everyone in L.A. is driving approximately two hours to snap that perfect pic for Instagram.
There's nothing quite like the crisp spring air, rolling hills and epic views of at least ten influencer photoshoots to achieve true inner peace.
And in case you didn't know, wildflowers also make a perfect natural backdrop for sponsored content, so don't forget your skincare products.

There are so many genres of Instagram super bloom photos, it's impossible to quantify all of them. But we broke down a few categories for your viewing pleasure.
Oh, I didn't see you there! I was just sitting alone in a field of poppies not waiting to have my photo taken.

I'm a farm boy who must water these wildflowers with my giant watering pot.
But in all seriousness, the flowers are blooming in low elevation desert areas across Southern California. Anza-Borrego State Park (they have a handy flower map), Lake Elsinore or Diamond Valley Lake are your best bets. Wildflowers have also been spotted closer to home at Point Mugu and Chino Hills State Park.
It might not seem like it, but flowers are for everyone (not just influencers).
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
