Wildflower super bloom Crested Butte Elk Range Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
The two or three weeks in July when the hillsides above Crested Butte turn every colour at once. Mules ears go yellow first, then the Colorado columbine, the lupine, the paintbrush, the scarlet gilia. Locals will point to the meadow along the 401 Trail, or the saddle below Mount Crested Butte where the bloom comes through in waves. The Colorado Legislature named the town the wildflower capital of the state in 1990. The wildflower festival has been running since 1986. By late August the colour starts to lift. By October the snow is back.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
