Description
"The Northwest is home to a wide variety of paintbrush, and identifying the different variations can require a good deal of examination.
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 asked 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!"
