Indian paintbrush - a photo on Flickriver

Indian paintbrush

The name of this flower is based on the legend of an Indian who wanted to paint a sunset. Frustrated that he could not produce any of the colors that matched the beauty of a sunset, he asked the Great Spirit for help. The Great Spirit provided him with paintbrushes to create his painting. After completing his work, the artist then discarded his used paintbrushes around the landscape. These paint bushes later blossomed into plants. Another similar Native American legend also involves an artist whose discarded paint brushes became flowers.
A wonderful mythic creation story.
Enjoy nature and give back a little too. Little donations can
help a lot here is one to consider as well.
