Sort of in a different league to the others on the list so far, this huge part of Australia has areas with incredible spring flower displays. It’s so huge in fact, that you could fit Florida inside it!

1. Namaqualand South Africa and Namibia.

This is a no brainer for the number 1 spot. Namaqualand is mostly in the desert of South Africa, and every spring an area bigger than California turns into a garden of countless billions and billions of flowers made up of thousands of thousands of species! It’s around three times the size of the number 2 flower display in Western Australia and literally more than one million times the size of the Keukenhof Gardens! If one place on Earth really knows how to do spring, it’s Africa’s Namaqualand!
