Three weeks ago? Which would put you there... Barely after the first day of spring? When it was juuuust starting to get above freezing each day, and everything was starting to think about growing?

Ah, yes, the Huffington post. The pinnacle of journalism. How about the National Parks Service website?
A good wildflower year depends on at least three things:
1.Well-spaced rainfall throughout the winter and spring
2.Sufficient warmth from the sun
3.Lack of drying winds
Warming Things Up:
Wildflower seeds that sprout with cool winter storms often remain small and low to the ground until the springtime sun starts to warm the soil. They may not look like they are growing, but below the surface a strong root system is being built. As the temperatures get warmer the well established plants then put on a growth spurt and start to bloom.

Yes, I was in Death Valley on March 10th and 11th, during a super bloom. Here is an article from Huff post, dated March 7th, about the super bloom that was going on at the time. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/death-valley-super-bloom-2016-flowers_us_56dd81a3e4b03a405679135b
