After a Fire, Fast-Growing Flowers Lock in a Long-Term Recovery

Hopland center. Already botanists have reported whispering bells blooming in the areas burned in 2017 by the North Bay fires.To answer her question about how plants affect soil, Hendricks-Franco wants to know which wildflowers take up more nitrogen than others.When it comes to nitrogen, there are two types of plants. Some, called nitrogen fixers, can take nitrogen out of the air and convert it into a form they can use. They do this by a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen fixing bacteria, which the plants house in their roots. Other plants don’t have that relationship, and so they rely on taking up nitrogen from the soil. In general, it’s good to be a nitrogen fixer: Earth’s atmosphere is 78 percent nitrogen, so the resource is always available. But after a fire, non-nitrogen fixers have all the nitrogen they could possibly want readily available to them at their roots. Hendricks-Franco assumes that this translates into non-nitrogen fixers growing quickly after a fire, while the nitrogen fixers’ grow relatively slowly. “Non-nitrogen fixers are really hungry,” she says.Whispering bells, a common fire-follower. (Photo by Sally Rae Kimmel)When Hendricks-Franco reaches the burned area, she pulls the car over near a scrawny tree that serves as shade, in a clearing that serves as a parking space. We are close to the top of the mountain. The very peak, covered in the dense red-green chaparral, is above us. On either side of us there are acres of yellow-brown burnt chaparral slopes.As we walk up the hill, charred chamise skeletons bake in a bath of hot July sun. Her face glows with a bit of sweat as she bends down and examines the site; she frowns a little. Some shriveled wildflowers sprout between the chamise. The dried whispering bells seem to rustle instead of whisper in the inconsistent warm breeze.Hendricks-Franco has divided the burn area into four types of plot. Some contain every type of plant. Some are weeded so they are either strictly chamise and nitrogen fixing plants, or strictly chamise and non-nitrogen fixing plants. Others are control plots where she weeded everything but the chamise.Hendricks-Franco’s plan is to watch for two or more years to see which types of plants take the most nitrogen from the soil.To measure plant density she uses a “point frame” — a three-foot by three-foot hard plastic square, with three legs extending down to the ground so it looks like a small table. There are about 50...

Spring blooms with wildflowers in Sonoma County

What we call the “early spring” wildflowers — like our delicate milkmaids and nodding shooting stars — actually begin to show up in the North Bay region in January and February, sometimes even December. Mid-March, however, is the main event. What better excuse to get outside with a sketchbook, or a camera, or just an appreciative eye.Whatever your own floral favorites, it is humbling to remember that flowers are not only beautiful but essential: we owe them a great debt. As so eloquently described by anthropologist and naturalist Loren Eisley in his 1946 essay “How Flowers Changed the World,” without flowers, the world as we know it — including the emergence of humans — would never have existed. To appreciate this connection that ties us to the emergence of flowering plants, we must look not only at a flower’s pretty face, but deep into the core of its being.What is a wildflower?There are as many definitions of wildflower as there are books or websites that feature them. Typically, wildflower watchers tend to focus on herbaceous annual plants with showy colorful petals. Grasses get left out because their wind-pollinated flowers lack petals and although beautiful in their own right, they are difficult to see with the naked eye. Strict native plant enthusiasts will rule out flowers that are not native to California, like the famous (or infamous, depending on one’s viewpoint) field mustard that paints Wine Country yellow in F...

Wildflower pop-up full of floral fantasy

Information: 415-205-3808, www.studiowildflower.com Maria Lang had volunteered her floral arranging services for various North Bay nonprofits long before taking formal floral classes and leaving her corporate job four years ago to start her own floral business. Just in time for the holidays, she opened Wildflower, a pop-up flower and gift shop at the Town Center in Corte Madera where, in addition to gorgeous floral arrangements and centerpieces, she sells lush holiday wreaths and garlands made of fresh pine, cedar, magnolia and berries, all olive or all magnolia branches or wreaths made of succulents. Lang shops the San Francisco Flower market several times a week to find the freshest, and when possible, most local material for the modern and romantic arrangements she creates for celebrations such as weddings, birthdays, parties, and bar or bat mitzvahs. While she’s there, she says, she looks for “something special, a little ‘fairy dust,’ whether it’s a different variety or color of flower or a material I can use in a different way, that will make someone say, ‘Wow!’ I like to change things up.” For example, her mixed floral arrangements of classic, seasonal flowers such as roses, lilies and tulips might also include a pop of ginge...

Sarah Schneider

Oregon State University. When the family was nearly grown, Lucille landed a full-time teaching job at Hillcrest School and later at North Bay Junior High School, while John retired. She made many lasting friendships during these teaching years. Lucille gave her heart to Jesus at an early age and she and John worshipped in the Hauser Community Church, until moving to Dallas, Ore., in 2004. One of Lucille’s passions was quilting in her spare time. Lucille followed in her own mama’s footsteps by giving beautiful handmade quilts to each of her children and grandchildren. Over the years Lucille rooted for her favorite sports teams including the Oregon State Beavers and Portland Trailblazers. She and her sister Pauline discussed players and statistics on a daily basis, until Pauline’s passing a few weeks earlier. Most precious to Lucille were her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchild. She leaves a legacy of love of reading and a commitment to lifelong learning. Lucille was preceded in death by her husband, John; daughter, Kathryn L. Brown; as well as five siblings. She is survived by daughters, Niki and husband, Ron Wade, Marie Schneider, and Karin Michaelson; son, Jon Schneider; seven grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild; as well as a large extended family of cousins, nieces and nephews and many friends. A celebration of Lucille’s life will be held at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 30, at Dallas Tribute Center in Dallas, Ore. Interment will be at Willamette National Cemetery at 12:30 p.m. Lucille has asked that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to Ronald McDonald House.

Two More NAG's for Michael Andrew Highlight Jr's West Friday Prelim

Diana Dunn (1:47.85,) and Nitro’s Karling Hemstreet (1:47.98) took third through sixth for the morning round, with Rockwood’s Jordan Stout and North Bay Aquatics’ Miki Dahlke closing the top eight with a tie at 1:48.10.BOYS 200 FREE PRELIMThe Nitro boys crushed the 800 relay in the first session of the West Junior National, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that they landed the top two seeds going into the final for the 200 free.  Corban Rawls and Sean Grieshop will lead the field tonight with their 1:37.02 and 1:37.39 respectively.  North Texas’ Jack LeVant was close behind with 1:37.58.
