It was the flower to paint the sunset, as the Indian legend goes. A young brave had no way to reproduce the sunset colors, so the Great Spirit gave him paintbrush. He painted a masterpiece and left the brushes scattered across the landscape. You will find them in mountain meadows, open woodlands, and along stream-banks and roadsides. The Indian paintbrush was designated the state flower of Wyoming in 1917. Also called prairie fire, Indian paintbrush is a genus of about 200 species of annual and perennial herbaceous plants native to the west of the Americas. Wyoming has a multitude of colors. Each one as unique and beautiful as the wild treasures within our beautiful state! Check out our other Wyo themed bracelets here.
