Indian Paintbrush

Indian paintbrushes grow in the cooler portions of North and Central America, Asia, and the Andes. The plants are parasitic on the roots of other plants, so they rarely are cultivated away from their native habitat. The plants’ uppermost leaves display brilliant colors and are more conspicuous than their flowers, which are interspersed among the leaves.
