Yes sir...I have camped and hiked in many western deserts and on big rain years dormant plants and flowers have amazing and quick lived blooms and it transforms what is normally a desert into a rich wildlife environment...That is how the western US deserts work

Flooding Creates a 10-Mile-Long Lake in Death Valley
The rare ephemeral lake was caused when the compacted, dry desert soil wasn’t able to absorb the .87 inches of rain that recently fell on the national park

just sharing the beauty of nature broski

it is crazy that some of these plants are even still alive...they look dead 99.9% of their existence and just wait for the rare rains
