EVEN THE DESERT BLOOMS
Indian Paintbrush is one of my favorite flowers in our high desert on the Western Slope of Colorado.
Did you know the Indian Paintbrush has several aliases and uses?
The Navajo Indians used the plant for medicinal purposes.
Native Americans soaked the plant in grease to make a hair oil.
The name Grandmother's Hair is attributed to the Chippewa Indians who used the plant to treat women's diseases and rheumatism.
