Some of those we <br />understand, some remain part <br />of nature's beautiful mysteries, Botanist Nick Jensen, Conservation Program director <br />for the California Native Plant Society, via 'Newsweek'.<br />Since December, the state has been <br />battered by extreme storms that have <br />caused flooding and other disruptions.<br />The 2019 California superbloom <br />was so bright that it was <br />visible from space.<br />While some experts have predicted that <br />the recent heavy rains could result in another <br />"really spectacular" superbloom, others remain hesitant. .<br />There's not a linear relationship <br />between overall precipitation <br />amounts and super blooms, Botanist Nick Jensen, Conservation Program director <br />for the California Native Plant Society, via 'Newsweek'.<br />They really depend on a number <br />of factors, and overall precipitation <br />is only one of those factors.
