Wildflowers spread across dry parts of Western Australia during its winter in 2026. Months with more rain than usual helped seeds in the soil start growing. Rainfall was above average in June and especially high in August. The flowers added bright colours to land usually covered by grasses and small trees. This change happened in the Murchison region, north of Perth.
Pictures from the Landsat 8 satellite show a greener landscape than the year before. They compare views from August 2025 and August 2026. Local experts think this could be the area's best flower display in nearly twenty years. The pictures help people see how much a dry region can change after rain.
