Is Baili Azalea Sea (百里杜鹃) happening right now?

As of today, out of season, returns ~March. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.

The Baili Azalea Sea is a springtime mass bloom of Rhododendron species that carpets large swaths of hills and highlands in parts of Guizhou province, China.

For 4-6 weeks each spring, slopes and ridgelines turn vivid pink, red, white, and purple, drawing photographers and hikers to a landscape-scale floral display.
