The Indian Paintbrush is a beautiful wildflower that grows happily along side the Bluebonnets. It is part of the colorful landscape this time of year in Texas.

My first reaction was that they don’t look anything like the paintbrushes I’m used to seeing … until I consulted with Mr Google. I was thinking of Devil’s Paintbrushes – which are orangey-red – rather than your pretty purple Indian Paintbrushes.
They look beautiful – I’m guessing a bumblebee magnet 🙂
When I first moved to Texas I was told they were Indian paintbrushes. When I decided to post them I also Googled (always avoid public embarrassment!) I kept seeing orange paintbrushes. Panic!! So I googled “pink Indian paintbrushes ” and learned my information was correct…..whew! I was afraid of having to find another “I” word!!
… and I learned something new today too 🙂
Glad I could help 🙂
I never see the pink ones. They are really pretty!
🙂 glad you like them!! I know where to take you so you’ll see them live and in person
Hope to see wildflowers this weekend. 🙂
Where are you all going Amy?
It looks like it’s going to rain this weekend. 😦
Bummer!
We are out in west Texas this weekend. Not nearly as many wildflowers 😦
Have you ever gone to Enis to see the bluebonnets ?
It is beautiful!!
I will check it out. We went to Friz a couple of times, north 281 was wow last spring. LBJ Wildflower Center is great, but not many flowers last year due to the drought. I think this year is going to be beautiful.
Yes I think you are right!!
Have you seen my Friday post? 🙂
No. I will go look at it
I always thought they were orange too! Thanks for the lesson, Tree!
Anytime Sue! Just doing my duty 🙂
How pretty! I don’t remember seeing them in this color before. Like above, the orange-red ones were what I’d seen as I traveled over Texas via blogs. 😉
So pretty! Love the colour!
Beautiful! Very colorful
So Plant Girl….did I get the name right? I’m always a little fearful that you will need to correct me!!!
Yup, you got it! Don’t worry, I don’t own a ruler for knuckle rapping!! =-)
Whew!! 😉
