Wildflower expert Naomi Fraga was excited about the prospect of an extraordinary bloom this spring, after a winter of near-record rainfall, but this week’s unseasonably hot, dry weather has dimmed her hopes for a superbloom year. “Superblooms are not guaranteed every year, even after lots of rain,” said Fraga, director of conservation programs at California Botanic Garden in Claremont. “When it happens, it’s extraordinary, but you need all the stars to align, with rain, temperature and timing. And the rainy weather came at the right time to give SoCal lots of colorful blooms this spring, traditionally around mid-March through April in Southern California, Fraga said. The best hope for a potential superbloom is if SoCal gets some cool, wet weather next week, Fraga said, but the chances of that are iffy.

No other opposition figure has Pahlavi’s name recognition or the nostalgia that his name evokes. The breadth of Iran’s ethnic and political diversity “is not reflected in his policies nor his performance nor in the plans he has put forward,” Mohtadi said. And Ghasseminejad said that Pahlavi’s coalition included ethnic and religious minorities and people of different political beliefs, unified by their support for Pahlavi’s leadership.
