INDIAN PAINTBRUSH
|
We wanted to share our wildflowers with you. They are pretty common, but we have tons of them this year. They can vary in color from red to white. Ours are orange. Below, is the legend of the Indian Paintbrush.

| OUR MEADOW FULL OF PAINTBRUSHES |
The Paintbrush evoked the Native American legend of 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!
