Dear Readers, Welcome to the Aug / Sept 2014 Special
Flowers Issue of T.art.
This summer has been especially fun, learning about the wildflowers around Telluride. Photographing them is so much easier than memorizing their names. Probably because I insist on learning only the Latin nomenclature. I would be nowhere in my endeavors without the knowledge of Alessandra Jacobson who has helped me identify what I am shooting. Titles and ID’s, adding zing to my photos...fun and interesting for sure, thank you so much! I am noticing the flowers around me a lot more and they have been there all along of course. The Bridal Veil Basin is so beautiful, I have an even higher appreciation for it now. Ive tried to capture the splendor of the wildflowers, the abundance, the big ones, the tiny ones, the insects even and some, turns out, dead ones. Come see the flowers blown up BIG on canvas ...”Wild Bunch” exhibit at Kamruz thru Sept. SUPER excited about this issue and the interview “Alessandra in Wildflower Wonderland” page 3-6. I’ve personally learned so much and hope you enjoy reading the colorful and informative interview with Alessandra about Bridal Veil Basin and the WILD flowers, a true Wonderland!

“Alessandra in Wildflower Wonderland”
Alessandra Jacobson talks about Bridal Veil Basin, ecology, and the beautiful wildflowers that live there”, there” Alessandra Jacobson has a unique history in the Telluride area and specifically the Bridal Veil basin above town. She has hiked in the Bridal Veil basin hundreds of times, as it was her family’s backyard for many years. It was the destination for most of her outdoor adventures from quick morning runs, picnics with the kids, day hikes and more ambitious solo hikes, outings with friends, backpacking trips,and ski touring. Alessandra has an impressive knowledge, love and appreciation for the Bridal Veil Basin and the wildflowers that live there! I’ve been photographing the wildflowers in Telluride this summer and feel fortunate to have Alessandra generously share her wildflower identifcation knowledge, as I am a total novice! It’s exciting to have the opportunity to talk with her more in depth about the wildflowers in the Bridal Veil Basin (BV basin) in this one of a two part interview. M: How did your interest in the wildflowers begin? I spent most of my childhood outdoors exploring in the foothills southwest Denver. My mother and I always shared a love and curiosity of nature together. I began taking an interest in spending time in high places back in college (CU Boulder 1993-97). While all the party kids partied I tended to run to the hills and seek solitude. That’s where my love for the mountain flowers began. After discovering Telluride on a solo escape from said party-zone, I knew I had to live here at some point, and stumbled upon an grant to come to Telluride and conduct a research project and work as a field assistant to a PhD student, gathering water samples from 18 headwaters basins of the San Miguel Watershed, summer of 1997. That’s when my love for our San Juan wildflowers really grew strong. That 1997 research position led to my residing here ever since, raising 3 children (still in the works), and founding and directing Telluride Institute’s Bridal Veil Living Classroom (BVLC), a dual-accredited summer ecology and field-research course for high school students. That said, the program began based on biodiversity, and I quickly gleaned as much information from local experts as possible and started wildflower inventories of Bridal Veil Basin; the home-base of the program, to enable me to be an informed program leader in the field with my students! I have since been totally enthralled with the spectacular mosaic of nature’s artwork in our subalpine and alpine basins, especially Bridal Veil. I am awestruck by nature’s bountiful displays every time I enter our flourishing basins in July and August, and will be forever. It goes to show, I believe, that the more you know about something, the more you appreciate it. M: You’ve also taught wildflower identification? A: Yes and No. I have never offered private wildflower tours, but have considered doing so. I feel I am still lacking in the Latin nomenclature, and mostly know common names of our wildflowers, which can vary from book-to-book and are not considered truly expert. During Bridal Veil Living Classroom field sessions with my students, I am able to help them get to know their flowers, though when actually doing our wildflower biodiversity counts, I always have at least one person along, who I consider a true expert. I have relied on wonderful volunteer experts from the region to come up and help us positively identify flowers, especially tricky when the flowers are not in bloom yet, and you only have the stem and leaves to work with. (Plant experts include John Sir Jessie, Yvette Henson, Peggy Lyon, Barry Johnston, Charlotte Jorgensen, Dawson White and Melanie Kent) M: How many species exist in BV basin? A: Not including grasses, trees and shrubs, so just wildflowers, or forbs (leafy flowering plants), we have inventoried 70 species in one very specific area, which I call “Bridal Veil Base Camp” – it is a meadow area at the bottom of an avalanche chute near the trail to Silver Lake, in the subalpine life zone at 10,500’. There are other species in other parts of the basin, same elevation, which have not made it onto this list- I can think of more than 10 species not on the list. The alpine zone, above treeline, has about half that many species of wildflowers, some which are specially adapted to that zone, only living in the alpine, others which are adapted from lower elevations. BVLC data sheets show 33 species of forbs, just in the small isolated areas of the alpine zone of upper BV Basin where we have sampled, at 12,000’ in elevation. The Town of Telluride had a complete plant survey done by botanist Peggy Lyon several years ago, which identifies all of the plants on many transects throughout the basin.

M: Are there any native or rare wildflowers in the Bridal Veil basin? A: All of the wildflower species in BV Basin are glorious natives. Peggy Lyon, botanist for Colorado Natural Heritage Program, identified some rare plants in BV Basin years ago; these include: Mingan moonwort (Botrychium minganense), Kings clover (Trifolium kingii), Common moonwort (Botrychium lunaria), Pale moonwort (Botrychium pallidum), and Stellar’s Cliff-brake (Cryptogramma stelleri),, I have come across King’s clover, and knew of a tiny population of the fern, Stellar’s cliff-brake in a highly visible spot, which sadly is no longer there. Behind Bridal Veil Falls, there is a wonderful rare bird which nests in the summer before their huge migration to South America for the winter, called the Black Swift. This is an amazing bird that I could go on and on about, but will hold back. The reason they are rare is due to their very specific habitat requirements, for example they need to nest in a cool, shady, misty area, on a cliff, away from predators, and with native moss nearby…. Makes it hard to find a home when you are that picky: but their biological requirements make them so! M: How much of the wildflower is the ROOT? A: Wild flowers at upper elevations hold a huge amount of their living potential in their root system. The growing season at these elevations is so short- especially in the alpine, where snows melt as late as August some years, and freezing begins as early as September. Most all, if not all, of the flowers above 10,000’ (subalpine and alpine zones) are perennials, and come back year after year. There is still seed regeneration occurring, but it often takes many years before a seed-germinated plant can reach maturity, or flowering. The biomass of alpine wildflowers, I have read, consists 90% in their root system, and 10% above ground. That means we are only seeing 1/10th of the plant! In the subalpine zone, that ratio might be less drastic, but a significant portion of the plant is underground, storing the nutrients and energy the plant needs to shoot up, bloom, produce pollen and seeds, all in a whirlwind of about 3 months. If you have seen these plants, they are often an impressive 5-6 feet in height in moist areas, such as the bottom of avalanche chutes, where the snow melts last, due to it’s depth! M: Should people pick wildflowers? A: As tempting as it is, they are better left in place. I have been an occasional hypocrite here for sure… but really; imagine if every hiker in every basin took a big bouquet with them; it would be ecologically impactful and really lessen the aesthetic experience of the high country. Great to follow Leave-No-Trace ethics; stay on the trail; pack out what you packed in, and nothing more. M: Which types of animals eat the wildflowers? A: Basically every herbivore living in these elevations will forage on wildflowers in Bridal Veil Basin, and some people, too! There are some very delicious and medicinal native flowers which humans that know, munch on while they hike… primarily the leaves, so it’s ethically okay, I think. Herbivorous mammals that come to mind immediately, other than ungulates (hoofed mammals- deer, elk), are marmots and pikas. They are especially active foragers and collectors this time of year- as time is running thin and winter is just around the corner- especially up high! Marmots, otherwise known as “whistle pigs” due to their high-pitched whistle calls, have to eat a HUGE amount of vegetation this time of year- to nearly double their body weight for survival through the cold months of hibernation- or better stated, deep-torpidity, which is near-hibernation but not quite such a deep sleep. Pikas, who can be heard from their less-loud, more nasal-sounding high pitched calls, can be seen in their rocky homes, or talus piles, this time of year, gathering grasses and wildflowers, and “haying”, which is where they set their harvest out to dry in the sun, on the rocks near their dens, which are simply spaces between the rocks. Pikas do not hibernate, and need their hay stores for survival all winter. They are very ambitious survivors of the brutal elements of their mountain habitats, and actually recycle their own feces to get the most out of their meals. Pollinators are another very important group of animals that rely on the wildflowers, and vice-versa. In this symbiotic relationship, flowers cannot generally be fertilized and complete their life-cycle of producing seeds, if they have not been pollinated, most commonly by an insect. Insects travel from one flower to the next, ingesting nectar, and transporting pollen from the anthers of one flower to the pistil of the next, causing germination! Flies and moths tend to flock to the white, green and brownish flowers, or whichever ones smell like food or feces, which are several! Bees and butterflies more often go for the bright and pastel colors, and those which smell sweet. Beetles, ants, hummingbirds and bats all help pollinate as well! I always see ants on the yellow Senecio-family flowers. All of the plants and animals are intricately webbed together. For example, I have read that one alpine wildflower, the Yellow Stonecrop, contains a toxin similar to cyanide, its nectar can be ingested solely by the Rocky Mountain Parnassian butterfly, a native species…. together they ensure each other’s survival.

M: Can you talk about the Subalpine vs. Alpine differences? A: Subalpine = Luscious Alpine= Burley and FRAGILE The life zone between 10,000 feet to treeline; which is basically around 11,500-12,000’, in the San Juans, is commonly referred to as the sub-alpine zone. For reference, most of the ski area is in the subalpine, but when you drop down Coonskin into town, you enter a lower life zone called the montane zone, which has a higher diversity of tree species and plants adapted to lower elevation conditions, be it drier, warmer, longer growing season, or what not. The subalpine is characterized by its heavy moisture levels, brief and glorious, robust growing seasons, and plentiful plant diversity, while only hosting 2 tree species, primarily: the subalpine fir and Engelmann spruce (and a few Quaking aspens!). The alpine zone above treeline in the San Juans is extreme in many senses, and amazingly beautiful. BV Basin has vast open rolling alpine topography, several miles beyond the power station. 3% of the world’s plants are said to be adapted for this environment and can only survive there. This zone receives twice the radiation and 25% more light than sea level, and is characterized by high winds, deep snow, sparse soil, sub-freezing temperatures and a super-brief growing season. Only short perennials grow here, and buds can take several years to open and bloom, while whole plants can take up to 30 years to flower. Vegetation hugs the ground for warmth and protection from the wind, as well as to prevent moisture loss while the wild winds howl and the sharp sun blazes. Some of my favorite alpine flowers, Old-Man-of-the-Mountain, have whitish fuzzy hairs (pubescence, it’s called!), thought to serve to trap warmth, reflect light, and prevent water loss. Smart alpine beings! Be sure to tread lightly here, if anywhere! M: What are your thoughts on ecology and preserving the Bridal Veil Basin? A: The ecology of Bridal Veil Basin is incredibly pristine, despite all the historical “artifacts” that have been left behind by its history of water development. There were weed surveys done years ago when the Town of Telluride was pursuing developing their water rights for municipal uses of Blue Lake (same plant survey that Peggy Lyon did), and I am mostly certain that there were no invasive weeds found in that survey. I do know of some small patches of Toadsflax (an escape ornamental invasive), which hopefully won’t get out of control! With the entrance to BV Basin gated and locked, only very few vehicles can enter the basin. Vehicles and ground disturbance, as well as weedy hay, and overgrazing, are primary vectors of weed introduction. People riding horses into the basin should only use weedfree hay, and vehicles entering the basin should be washed off- especially the undercarriage- to not transport weed seeds! The problem with weeds in a pristine and vulnerable area, such as BV Basin, is that they tend to push out native plants who work hard to exist there in balance with other species. Invasives are adapted to other environments, and some are able to come in and out-compete natives for resources, without having their natural competitors in this new environment. I was very concerned about environmental impacts in the basin when Telluride bulldozed in a new road for new pipeline, in the basin about a decade ago, to acquire Blue Lake water for town use. Ground disturbance provides a fresh clean soil bed, free of competition, which airborne (windborne) seeds of invasives can take hold in readily. I have not walked the pipeline in recent years looking for weeds. It’s spectacular to think that every plant and animal in that vast of a Basin (as BV Basin provides the mouth for other hanging basinsGrey’s Basin, Mud Lake Basin, East Basin, Jackass Basin, and Silver Lake Basin) is meant to be there and lives in natural balance with its neighbors. Noteworthy, I believe that sheep grazing in Bridal Veil Basin was halted in the early 1980’s but don’t quote me on the date! Regardless, the ecosystem has made an incredible comeback, if indeed it was ever overgrazed. The most current threat to the basin, I believe, is climate change. Many of the alpine species are particularly adapted to the climatic conditions of that zone. There are many fragile webs of abiotic and biotic interactions in every ecosystem, which can easily be disrupted, and especially so in the alpine zone. One species of immediate concern is the American pika, which cannot withstand temperatures of over 78 degrees F for prolonged periods; as summer temperatures increase, they must migrate further up in elevation, and thus risk both running out of cool habitats, and genetic isolation. Another huge concern for our subalpine forests linked to climate change, is bark beetle kill. Bark beetles are natural native parasites of trees, but lately, they have been occurring at epidemic levels in some forests of the Rockies, which is thought to be linked to warmer winters. Without sub-zero cold spells lasting for weeks (long enough to kill beetle larvae wintering under tree bark), their populations can grow out of control, killing entire forests. The spruce beetle is my concern in the subalpine, and some scientists think that if our spruce-fir forests are wiped out, they may not rejuvenate, but rather make way for lower-elevation trees better adapted to our warmer climate.

M: What are your coolest experiences in BV Basin? A: This is a really tough one to answer! Ski touring in the winter is magnificent because of the silent solitude, but there are no flowers! I think some of my most special times in Bridal Veil Basin have happened when I was undecided as to whether to hike or not, due to poor weather, but have given it a go. My new theory is actually to never let the weather stop me, unless it’s going to put me in real danger. I’ve found that those cloudy, rainy days, are actually so magical. No other hikers are seen, and everything feels mysterious and cozy, with the huge rain clouds rolling up the valley and swallowing you up, the wet wind blowing on your face, and the moisture in your otherwise dried out mountain skin. The dampness and shrouded light makes everything more personal, deep, vibrant and intensified. Having your field of view limited by the engulfing masses of clouds also makes you focus on what is nearby, and see things in a refreshingly new perspective. It’s almost like nature is showing you herself in secrecy. M: You’ve lived in Telluride since 1997, what are the changes you’ve seen in town and the Bridal Veil Basin ? Telluride has become much ritzier, but everyone knows that! I have personally seen that some pika populations I knew of below Bridal Veil Basin, near Idarado Mine, are no longer there, which I suspect is due to the warm summer spells. There have been some changes up around the power station in recent years which I cannot really comment on due to my lack of knowledge. And of course, the water development system, which put in a vehicle-accessible road all along the historic pipeline that fed the hydro-plant. That pipeline used to only be accessible by horse, donkey, foot, or an occasional 4-wheeler in some sections…. But such is the modern world, and I do at least know that the town made revegetation efforts in the areas where the ground was disturbed. M: What are your favorite wildflower books? Unfortunately I believe my 2 favorite wildflower books are out of print, but they can still be found with some effort! Wild About Wildflowers: Extreme Botanizing in Crested Butte Wildflower Capital of Colorado, is one, and the other is Guide to Colorado Wildflowers; Mountain edition, G.K. Guennel. There must be lots of other good identification books out there; but once you know a couple you love, you need search no further! M: Any closing remarks, Alessandra? A: Get out there and enjoy! The mountains are a sanctuary, readily awaiting. Discover your own secret stash of awe! Even as summer wanes, the wildflower foliage is gorgeous as it turns to yellows and reds, and the smell of it all cannot be surpassed. Breathe deep, look closely and tread lightly!

Manny Valenzuela Born 1963 and raised in Tucson, Arizona Hispanic Heritage Principal works are acrylic on canvas paintings, cast bronze and welded steel sculpture. “Passion for the Gaucho, simplicity and emotional complexity, this is the basis of my art. The central element is a minimal silhouette of a cowboy wearing a gaucho hat. Adding vibrant colors and positioning multiple characters together stir emotion. This is the starting point for my artwork; from here it is constantly evolving. My gaucho characters started with individual colors. Currently I’m mixing the colors within each character to bring out more depth making the subject more vibrant and dimensional. This takes my paintings in a new and exciting direction while keeping true to my passion for the Gaucho.”

Manny Valenzuela Manny is a dynamic, Contemporary Artist. His sculptures and paintings are inspired by his colorful heritage. “Many of my paintings are metaphors of personal relationships that convey a message using western influences. I love using my artwork to express that special bond between a parent and his/her kids. Bright colors and textures are mixed in a contemporary fashion creating a unique interpretation of the world around us. The combination of subject and technique brings character and flair to a room while still embracing a deeper meaning. Everyone has something to say I just prefer to communicate with metal or paint.” “I mainly work with western figures because of the poetic lifestyle they lead. It appears simple yet contains a complexity that goes beyond what seems obvious. I love creating paintings that stir emotion. It’s a great feeling to know you’ve touched someone’s heart or put a smile on their face. My style is minimalistic because of its ability to best convey the message with very little distraction. Some of the designs are derived from childhood memories and others represent my relationship with my own kids.” Pre-historic art, western icons, and personal life experiences influence the designs for his sculpture. A contemporary touch coupled with a southwestern flavor is evident in his artwork. His contemporary abstract pieces consist of visual metaphors, symbolizing both personal and global representations. Manny creates sculpture using welded steel and cast bronze. These mediums are selected for their permanency and value. He is involved in every step of the process to ensure the highest level of quality. His goal is to create artwork that provides enjoyment and a sound investment.

Mary Kenez I see colors... I’ve loved photography and the outdoors for as long as I can remember... My photography is a documentation of my travels and adventures in... vivid color and sometimes not. Telluride is so full of color and beauty it’s easy to be inspired here. I find inspiration around every bend and in everyday I’m fortunate enough to spend here. Each season brings new colors, new light and new photographic opportunities.
