Aggressive Instagramming is ruining Southern California’s super bloom

People trampled California’s poppies for the ‘gram, and ruined it for the rest of us. 

Fields of fiery “super bloom” poppies are lighting up the hills of Walker Canyon in Lake Elsinore, a city about halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. Thanks to uncommonly heavy rains this winter, much of Southern California is seeing a massive burst of wildflower blooms across the state. The poppies in Walker Canyon are so lush, they can be seen from space.
