Description
Indian Paintbrush is a semi parasitic plant that feeds on the nutrients from the root zone of other plants. It is widespread in North and South America, parts of Asia and Siberia. It is seen in at least 4 different colorations including red, yellow, cream or white and pink. The Paintbrush is the source of a Native American legend about a young brave who tried to paint the sunset with his warpaints. Frustrated that he could not match the brilliance of nature, he ask for guidance from the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit gave him paintbrushes laden with the colors he so desired. With these, he painted his masterpiece and left the spent brushes in fields across the landscape. These brushes sprouted the flowers we now so wonderfully love!
