Spring is finally here.

And with the new season comes new landscapes and flowers blooming around the world.

In California, wildflowers are popping up across the state after years of extreme drought and a wet winter. The relatively rare and lush “super blooms” have caused tourist boom to the Golden State.

Along the Israeli-Gaza strip, ranunculus flowers are creating a colorful scene. And near the Juyongguan Pass of the Great Wall in Beijing, peach flowers are blooming in the trees.

View the photo gallery above to see pictures of more colorful blooms happening all around the globe.
