As of Jun 19, 2026, 8:54 PM, in season, building toward peak (~August 1). Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
After dry-season fires across the Brazilian Cerrado, many herbaceous and sub-shrub species synchronize and flush into flower within days to weeks.
Some taxa (for example Bulbostylis paradoxa) can produce flowering stalks within 24 hours.
The phenomenon is widespread across Cerrado formations but timing is driven entirely by the date of the burn.
